You asked me to provide an analysis regarding the Tukwila Municipal Code's treatment
of stand - alone, off -site accessory parking facilities and what City permits would be required
under the Code for such uses. I have reviewed the materials provided by Moira as well as the
relevant Code provisions. The purpose of this memorandum is to follow -up our recent
conversation and to summarize my analysis and recommendations. As discussed below, I
believe the current Code provisions do not authorize a stand - alone, off -site accessory parking
facility that is used for non - commercial purposes (e.g. employee parking on a site different
from the principal use); however, some potential ambiguity is created by the Code's provisions
relating to covenant parking. I also briefly discuss below the statutory provisions under ch.
14.08 RCW relating to municipal airport facilities and whether those statutes would authorize
the Port of Seattle or King County to essentially preempt the City's zoning regulations relating
to off -site parking.
Off - Site Accessory Parking
After having reviewed the Code, I do not believe that a stand- alone, off -site parking
facility would be considered an accessory use under the Code. An "accessory use" is defined

as: "a use incidental and subordinate to the principal use and located on the same lot or in the
same building as the principal use." TMC 18.06.870 (emphasis added). Under the City's
definition of an "accessory use," a principal use and any related accessory uses, including
parking, must be located on the same lot or in the same building. Consequently, a stand -alone
parking facility to provide parking for a principal use located on a different site (or even outside
the City) does not fall within the City's definition of a permissible "accessory use. "'
Given the definition of an "accessory use," a stand - alone, off-site parking facility must
itself be considered a "principal use." See TMC § 18.06.880 (defining a "primary" or
"principal" use as "the use for which a lot, structure or building, or the major portion thereof, is
designed or actually employed "). Thus, the question becomes whether such a facility falls
within any principal uses permitted under the Code. Prior Code language was unclear as to
how a stand- alone, off site parking facility would be treated as there was no use in the Code that
squarely fit with a stand - alone, off -site parking facility to be used for non- commercial purposes
(such as for employee parking). Such a facility might arguably have fit within one of two
allowed uses. For example, many of the City's commercial and industrial zoning districts
previously permitted outright "public parking lots or garages for private passenger cars." See,
e.g. TMC 18.24.020(38) (RC zone). Similarly, many of the City's zoning districts previously
permitted "park and ride lots" as a conditional use. See, e.g. TMC 18.24.040 (RC zone).
Arguments could be made (although not necessarily strong or convincing arguments) that a
stand - alone, off -site parking facility used for non - commercial purposes fell within either of
those definitions. However, I believe the City's recent Code amendments foreclose those
arguments by (a) deleting the permitted use "public parking lots" and adopting provisions
permitting only "commercial parking," and (b) amending the definition of a "park and ride lot"
to apply to facilities where persons transfer to public transportation. In light of these
amendments I do not believe the Code allows a stand- alone, off -site parking facility that is used
for non - commercial purposes (such as providing employee parking for a principal use on a
different site).
While the Code does not appear to allow stand - alone, off -site parking facilities in any
zoning district, some confusion is created by TMC 18.56.070(B). That Code provision allows
for "covenant parking" "[w]hen off -site parking is provided on a lot other than the lot of the use
to which it is accessory, . . ." (Emphasis added.) The ambiguity and potential confusion arises
because, as discussed above, the zoning districts in the Code do not appear to authorize a stand-
alone, off -site accessory parking facility on a different site than the principal use. Thus, on the
one hand the Code's zoning districts do not appear to allow such a use while on the other hand
TMC 18.56.070(B) suggests that an accessory parking facility is allowed on a different site than
the principal use. I do not have any information as to whether the City has in fact relied on
' You raised the question about a stand - alone, off -site parking facility specifically with regard to such a facility
that might in the future be proposed to provide employee parking for either Boeing Field or SeaTac Airport. Even
though a stand - alone, off -site parking facility to provide airport employee parking is arguably accessory to an
airport use (and airports are permitted under an unclassified use permit in certain City zoning districts), it falls
outside the definition of an "accessory use" under the City's Code because the principal use (the airport) is not
located "on the same lot or in the same building" as the proposed parking.

TMC 18.56.070(B) to permit an accessory parking facility on a different site than the principal
use.

•
•
In light of the foregoing, I have the following recommendations:
Ch. 14.08 RCW
If the City's intent is to prohibit stand - alone, off -site accessory parking facilities,
the City should consider deleting TMC 18.56.070(B) and thereby eliminate any
potential future argument that such facilities are allowed under the Code. TMC
18.56.070(B) would be unnecessary if accessory parking is not allowed on a
different site than the principal use.
If the City wants to allow stand- alone, off -site accessory parking facilities, the
City should amend the Code to clarify the zoning districts in which such uses
will be allowed. In doing so, the City could also consider making a stand - alone,
off -site accessory parking a conditional or unclassified use to ensure that the
City would have some control over the development of such parking facilities.
This might also entail revising the definition of an "accessory use" to reflect that
accessory parking may in some limited circumstances be provided off -site from
the principal use that the parking supports.
Another option if the City decides to permit stand - alone, off -site accessory
parking facilities is to provide that such facilities may be permitted if the
principal use is located within the City.
You also inquired about the authority of an airport operator outside the City, such as the
Port of Seattle (operator of SeaTac) or King County (operator of Boeing Field) to preempt City
zoning and rely on chapter 14.08 RCW to establish an accessory parking facility in the City to
provide employee parking. Chapter 14.08 RCW is the Municipal Airports Act of 1945 (the
"Act ") and establishes statutory provisions related to operators of municipal airports. King
County and the Port are "airport operators" under the Act. Airport operators have fairly broad
authorities relating to "airports, restricted landing areas, or other air navigation facilities." For
instance, airport operations have the power:
[t]o adopt and amend all needed rules, regulations, and
ordinances for the management, government, and use of any
properties under its control, whether within or outside the
territorial limits of the municipality; .. .
RCW 14.08.120(2). There are no cases interpreting this specific portion of RCW 14.08.120(2).
However, the Washington Supreme Court has held that the Port of Seattle has authority under
ch. 53.08 RCW (regarding the authority of Port districts) and RCW 14.08.120(4) to condemn
{00105747.DOC;1 J

lands for construction of "air cargo storage and transfer facilities." Hove v. Port of Seattle, 80
Wn.2d 392, 495 P.2d 327 (1972).
While an argument can be made that RCW 14.08.120(2) empowers an airport operator
to make use of lands for any purpose needed to operate an airport, there is no case law that
specifically supports such an interpretation. Taken to its logical extreme, an airport operator
could rely on RCW 14.08.120(2) to argue that it has authority to preempt local land use
authority and storage hazardous materials from airport operations on property it owns within a
city. I do not believe that such an interpretation is supported by the plain language of the
statute or any case law. My brief research regarding chapter 14.08 RCW did not uncover any
evidence of legislative intent to allow airport operators to fully preempt local land use
authority. RCW 14.08.330 does recognize that an airport operator has "concurrent jurisdiction
over the adjacent territory described in RCW 14.08.120(2)." However, language in RCW
14.08.120(2) other than that quoted above suggests that the statute is directed at police power
authorities such as fire protection and police services within "adjacent territory" to an airport
rather than an airport operator's power to affect land use powers in those areas. For these
reasons I believe it is unlikely an airport operator could successfully rely on RCW 14.08.120(2)
to argue it has authority to require the City to allow a stand- alone, off -site accessory parking
facility that is otherwise inconsistent with the City's adopted Code.
I trust this information and analysis is helpful. Please do not hesitate to call if you have
any questions or what like to discuss these matters further.

Moira and Jack,
I've had a chance to look at Moira's prior memorandum (which she forwarded
by a separate e-mail) and to take a look at the City's code. I wanted to
get back to you with my initial thoughts on the off -site employee parking
issue. After you have had a chance to review these comments we should try
to touch base by phone early next week (my calendar is pretty wide open both
Tuesday and Wednesday).
After having taken a look at the City's code provisions, I do not think that
off -site airport employee parking would be treated as an accessory use to an
airport under the City's code. The key factor is the City's definition of
an "accessory use," which is defined as "a use incidental and subordinate to
the principal use and located on the same lot or in the same building as the
principal use." TMC 18.06.870 (emphasis added). Even though off -site
airport employee parking in the City is arguably "accessory" to the airport
(either Boeing Field or SeaTac), it is not an "accessory use" unless the
principal use (the airport) is located "on the same lot or in the same use."
Consequently, I do not believe that use of properties within the City for
off -site airport employee parking falls within the City's definition of an
"accessory use."
I note that the City does have a provision (TMC 18.56.070(B)) that allows
"covenant parking" "[w]hen off -site parking is provided on a lot other than
the lot of the use to which it is accessory, ... " However, this doesn't
address the issue of how off -site stand alone parking (other than public
parking lots) are treated under the zoning code. TMC 18.56.070 appears to
contradict the definition of an accessory use. Moreover, while TMC
18.56.070 generally says that "[w]hen off -site parking is provided on a lot
other than the lot of the use to which it is accessory," the zoning
districts themselves (especially given the definition of an accessory use)
do not appear to authorize a stand alone parking facility to be considered
as "accessory" to some off -site use.
Given the definition of an "accessory use," I think off -site airport
employee parking would itself be treated as a principal use. I agree with
your analysis that the Code is somewhat ambiguous in terms of how such
parking would be addressed. There is no permitted use under the City's code
that squarely fits with off -site employee parking. For example, many of the
City's commercial and industrial zoning districts permit outright "public
parking lots or garages for private passenger cars." See, e.g. TMC
18.24.020(38) (RC zone). Off -site airport employee parking is not quite
the same as a "public parking lot" as it is used for private rather than
public use. Off -site airport employee parking would only fall within this
use if the parking structure was a garage (rather than a parking lot) for
private parking. Similarly, many of the City's zoning districts permit
"park and ride lots" as a conditional use. See, e.g. TMC 18.24.040 (RC
zone). While off -site airport employee parking is not a traditional "park
and ride" that is tied to public transportation, given the lack of a current
definition of a "park and ride lot" a reasoned argument could be made that
employee parking should be treated as such.
In light of this, I think there are several things for the City to consider
to address this:
* The proposed modification to the definition of a "park and ride facility,"
which would define those in terms of facilities providing transfer to public
transportation, is a good step. That change would eliminate an argument
that off -site airport employee parking (or any other off -site employee
parking) is not permitted as a conditional use as a "park and ride lot"
under the current code language.
* Consider adding as either a conditional use or unclassified use (depending
on how the City wants to permit such proposed uses) in the zoning districts
deemed appropriate by the City a specific definition for "off -site employee
parking." This would allow the City to deal with those employers who use
stand alone parking facilities (either surface lots or structures). I
assume that the City would also want to tie such a provision to TMC
18.56.070 regarding covenant parking.
* Consider clarifying provisions of the zoning districts to be consistent
with TMC 18.56.070(B) and clarify those zoning districts where accessory
parking can be provided on a different site than the principal use.
* Finally, please note that TMC 18.56.070(B) re covenant parking does not
appear to address the situation where the owner of the off -site principal
use property is the same as the owner of the property on which the off -site
employee parking might be provided. The City might consider amending this
language to address either situation.
I hope this initial analysis is helpful. I look forward to discussing this
with you further next week. Have a great weekend!

principal use (the airport) is located "on the same lot or in the same use."
Consequently, I do not believe that use of properties within the City for
off -site airport employee parking falls within the City's definition of an
"accessory use."
I note that the City does have a provision (TMC 18.56.070(B)) that allows
"covenant parking" "[w]hen off -site parking is provided on a lot other than
the lot of the use to which it is accessory, ... " However, this doesn't
address the issue of how off -site stand alone parking (other than public
parking lots) are treated under the zoning code. TMC 18.56.070 appears to
contradict the definition of an accessory use. Moreover, while TMC
18.56.070 generally says that "[w]hen off -site parking is provided on a lot
other than the lot of the use to which it is accessory," the zoning
districts themselves (especially given the definition of an accessory use)
do not appear to authorize a stand alone parking facility to be considered
as "accessory" to some off -site use.
Given the definition of an "accessory use," I think off -site airport
employee parking would itself be treated as a principal use. I agree with
your analysis that the Code is somewhat ambiguous in terms of how such
parking would be addressed. There is no permitted use under the City's code
that squarely fits with off -site employee parking. For example, many of the
City's commercial and industrial zoning districts permit outright "public
parking lots or garages for private passenger cars." See, e.g. TMC
18.24.020(38) (RC zone). Off -site airport employee parking is not quite
the same as a "public parking lot" as it is used for private rather than
public use. Off -site airport employee parking would only fall within this
use if the parking structure was a garage (rather than a parking lot) for
private parking. Similarly, many of the City's zoning districts permit
"park and ride lots" as a conditional use. See, e.g. TMC 18.24.040 (RC
zone). While off -site airport employee parking is not a traditional "park
and ride" that is tied to public transportation, given the lack of a current
definition of a "park and ride lot" a reasoned argument could be made that
employee parking should be treated as such.
In light of this, I think there are several things for the City to consider
to address this:
* The proposed modification to the definition of a "park and ride facility,"
which would define those in terms of facilities providing transfer to public
transportation, is a good step. That change would eliminate an argument
that off -site airport employee parking (or any other off -site employee
parking) is not permitted as a conditional use as a "park and ride lot"
under the current code language.
* Consider adding as either a conditional use or unclassified use (depending
on how the City wants to permit such proposed uses) in the zoning districts
deemed appropriate by the City a specific definition for "off -site employee
parking." This would allow the City to deal with those employers who use
stand alone parking facilities (either surface lots or structures). I
assume that the City would also want to tie such a provision to TMC
18.56.070 regarding covenant parking.
* Consider clarifying provisions of the zoning districts to be consistent
with TMC 18.56.070(B) and clarify those zoning districts where accessory
parking can be provided on a different site than the principal use.
* Finally, please note that TMC 18.56.070(B) re covenant parking does not
appear to address the situation where the owner of the off -site principal
use property is the same as the owner of the property on which the off -site
employee parking might be provided. The City might consider amending this
language to address either situation.
I hope this initial analysis is helpful. I look forward to discussing this
with you further next week. Have a great weekend!

« File: 01 cowmemo1126.doc » Dear Mr. Holtzclaw:
I understand Jack Pace from Tukwila DCD has called you regarding legal
services related to potential Port of Seattle use of property in the City of
Tukwila.
Attached is a memo I prepared for the City Council. It contains an
interpretation of the Tukwila Zoning Code and where airport employee parking
would be allowed and under what circumstances if any ie. permitted,
conditional, unclassified. We are asking for your review of the Tukwila
Code, which is available at www.ci.tukwila.wa.us, and your opinion regarding
our interpretation of available districts for the above use.

Steve, you have my ok to proceed with the extension of the moratorium
scheduled on the 1/2/01 Council Agenda. We need to keep this in place while
we are looking at more permanent solutions. Is there any other zoning that
cover the SRO property that would be better for our anticipated future of
that area that might ward off speculators such as ?OS?
Have a wonderful holiday and take a deserved relaxation period to refresh
and regroup for all the things ahead of us in 2001.

Subject: Re: parking ordinance
"Financial sevices" was combined with "offices" when we revised the MIC /L
district to allow "stand- alone" offices earlier this year (Ordinance No.
1954, adopted Feb. 5, 2001). So, those under 20,000 sq. ft. are allowed
outright, those over 20,000 sq. ft. require a CUP ((TMC 18.36.020(22) and
18.46.040(7)). I understand the City Clerk's office is in the process of
codifying all 2001 ordinances, and we'll be sure to get you an updated
version of the zoning code when it's available.
Concerning disign review for commercial parking structures: The intent has
been to apply the new Parking Structure Design Guidelines only when design
review would already be required, not to expand the circumstances under
which design review is required. The current draft language is not as clear
as it could be in this regard (good catch!).
Perhaps the following revision of Subsection E (found at page 39 of the
agenda packet) will help:
i fiE .Parking Struct Desi G u id e line The Parkin Structure Design
rGuidelines shall: be of this Title require.a`
fdesigrireview,decision on: proposed or;modified- parking structures!"-
Let me know if you think this adequately clarifies the issue, or if you
think we need to do additional work. Also, do you want to introduce this
issue and the solution tonight, or would you rather we mention it in our
staff report?
Thanks!

When I was reviewing the draft ordinance, I noticed that "financial
services" was not listed among the permitted uses in the MIC /Light. (see
page 28 of agenda packet) Could you please check on that. I know my copy of
the TMC is not as up -to -date, but I don't recall removing that from just the
MIC /Light.
I will also have a question about the design review requirement (agenda
packet page 39). I'm not sure that the proposed language would require
design review of any parking structure. And do we want to require that? As I
: ve4-ancaster- RE: parking ordinance Page 2'
understand it, we don't require design review in the industrial areas unless
the development is near residential or near the river. I also believe we
only require design review in our commercial areas when the total structure
is greater than 10,000 sf. I'm guessing that any building including
structured parking would easily exceed that number of square feet. I just
want to make sure that the Council is very clear on what we are doing and
aren't making any false assumptions.

Section 12 of 18.24.020 Permitted Uses (Regional Commercial Districts)
As it applies to the above code section reference, we are proposing to the
• ~
City Council for their public hearing on this matter on Monday, December 10,
2001 substitute additional wording (in italics) as follows:
Commercial Parking located in structures with substantial ground floor
retail or commercial services and designed such that the pedestrian
and commercial environments are not negatively impacted by the
parking use. Note: An exception to this requirement: Where (1) there
is existing development or structures a minimum of fifteen (15) feet in
height which would remain in place, (2) located along the International
Boulevard (Highway 99) frontage and would substantially screen any
surface commercial parking not contained in a structure, commercial
parking would be permitted which does not have substantial ground
floor retail or commercial services. Such commercial parking is subject to
the Off -Site Parking and Loading Chapter (18.56 TMC).
We hope our (the above) proposed revisions to the Planning Commission's
recommendations to the City Council (and reviewed at the Council's November
26 meeting - Agenda item 4.(b) - are clear. Please let me know if you need
anything more!

Subject: Re: parking ordinance
"Financial sevices" was combined with "offices" when we revised the MIC /L district to allow "stand- alone"
offices earlier this year (Ordinance No. 1954, adopted Feb. 5, 2001). So, those under 20,000 sq. ft. are
allowed outright, those over 20,000 sq. ft. require a CUP ((TMC 18.36.020(22) and 18.46.040(7)). I
understand the City Clerk's office is in the process of codifying all 2001 ordinances, and we'll be sure to
get you an updated version of the zoning code when it's available.
Concerning disign review for commercial parking structures: The intent has been to apply the new
Parking Structure Design Guidelines only when design review would already be required, not to expand
the circumstances under which design review is required. The current draft language is not as clear as it
could be in this regard (good catch!).
Perhaps the following revision of Subsection E (found at page 39 of the agenda packet) will help:
"E. Parking Structure Design Guidelines. The Parking Structure Design Guidelines shall be used
whenever the provisions of this Title require a design review decision on proposed or modified parking
structures."
Let me know if you think this adequately clarifies the issue, or if you, think we need to do additional work.

Draft Ordinance (revised)
COUNCIL AGENDA SYNOPSIS
TO: City Council
FROM: Steve Lancast
SUBJECT: Commercial Parking
DATE: December 12, 2001
BACKGROUND
CITY OF TUKWILA
INTER - OFFICE MEMO
Following its December 10 public hearing on commercial parking regulations, the City Council
requested that staff summarize options concerning structured vs. surface parking. The City
Council appears to be in agreement with most of the Planning Commission's recommendations,
but wanted to explore options concerning the location (i.e., structured vs. surface, setbacks) and
buffering (i.e., setbacks, screening) of commercial parking lots.
ALTERNATIVES
Alternative A - Planning Commission Recommendation
Under the current draft ordinance, commercial parking is listed as an outright permitted use in
MUO, 0, RC, RCM, TUC and C/LI zoning districts as follows:
"Commercial parking located within structures with substantial ground floor retail or
commercial activities and designed such that the pedestrian and commercial environments
are not negatively impacted by the parking use."
If the City Council supports this approach, it should adopt the ordinance as included in the
agenda packet.
Alternative B — Original Staff Recommendation
Under the original staff recommendation, Commercial parking would be allowed as an outright
permitted use in MUO, 0, RC, RCM, and TUC zoning districts (but not in C/LI). Location
within a building would not have been required. Instead, there would be an option of locating
parking behind a building or at least 70 feet back from arterial streets.
Under this alternative, the following language would be substituted wherever the draft ordinance
lists "commercial parking" in the zones listed above, as well as in the C /LI zone.
\ \TUK2 \VOL3\HOME \STEVE\ STEVE \CODE REV\MORATOR \commercial parking2.doc
Page 1

I a,
"Commercial parking, provided it is:
a. located within a structure having substantial ground floor retail or commercial activities
and designed such that the pedestrian and commercial environments are not negatively
impacted by the parking use, or
b. located behind a building or buildings that substantially screen the parking, or
c. • located at least 70 feet from adjacent arterial streets."
Alternative C — SRO/Lewis and Clark Proposal
Representatives of SRO submitted suggested revisions to the draft ordinance, and testified at the
December 10 public hearing. Staff met with these representatives after the hearing, and we
discussed the following modifications to their original proposal. The revised proposal would be
more restrictive than the original staff proposal, while providing more flexibility than the
Planning Commission's recommendation.
Under this alternative, the following language would be substituted wherever the draft ordinance
lists "commercial parking" as a permitted use in the commercial zones listed above.
`Commercial parking. provided it is:
a. located within a structure having substantial ground floor retail or commercial activities
and designed such that the pedestrian and commercial environments are not negatively
impacted by the parking use or
b. located at least 175 feet from adjacent arterial streets and behind a building that,
combined with appropriate Type III landscaping, provides effective visual screening from
adjacent streets.
STAFF RECOM I ATION
That the City Council adopt the draft ordinance, either as recommended by the Planning
Commission or as modified under alternative B or C. In the event the Council is unable to reach
a decision at this meeting, staff will prepare an ordinance extending the current moratorium for
your consideration on January 7, 2001.
Note concerning nonconforming use issues: Any of the options under consideration will make Ajax Parking at
15426 35 Ave. S. and Quick Park at 3610 S. 158 St. (currently under construction) legally nonconforming. If the
requirement that commercial parking be located behind a building becomes a mandatory requirement, the future
removal of such a building could also result in a parking use becoming legally nonconforming.
Nonconforming uses may continue as long as they are not intensified, enlarged, moved to another location on the
parcel, etc. If a nonconforming use ceases to operate for six consecutive months or a total of 365 days in a three -
year period, the use may not be re- established. For newly - proposed commercial parking lots that rely on buildings
for screening, it would be possible to require a contractual agreement by the property owner to remove the
commercial parking use in the event the buildings are removed and no alternative screening allowed by the code is
provided.

C. Multi- Family, Hotel and Motel Design Review Criteria. In reviewing any multi-
family, hotel or motel application the following criteria shall be used by the BAR in its decision
making as well as the Multi- Family Design Manual.
1. Site planning.
a. Building siting, architecture, and landscaping shall be integrated into and
blend harmoniously with the neighborhood building scale, natural environment, and
development characteristics as envisioned' in the Comprehensive Plan. For instance, a multi-
family development's design need not be harmoniously integrated with adjacent single family
structures if that existing single family use is designated as "Commercial" or "High Density
Residential" in the Comprehensive Plan. However, a "Low Density Residential" (detached
single family) designation would require such harmonious design integration.
b. Natural features which contribute to desirable neighborhood character shall
be preserved to the maximum extent possible. Natural features include, but are not limited to,
existing significant trees and stands of trees, wetlands, streams, and significant topographic
features.
c. The site plan shall use landscaping and building shapes to form art
aesthetically pleasing and pedestrian scale streetscape. This shall include, but not be limited to
facilitating pedestrian travel along the street, using architecture and landscaping to provide a
desirable transition from streetscape to the building, and providing an integrated linkage from
pedestrian and vehicular facilities to building entries.
d. Pedestrian and vehicular entries shall provide a high quality visual focus
using building siting, shapes, and landscaping. Such a feature establishes a physical transition
between the project and public areas, and establishes the initial sense of high quality
' development.
street.
f. Site perimeter design (i.e. landscaping, structures, and horizontal width)
shall be coordinated with site development to ensure a harmonious transition between
adjacent projects.
Commercial Pkg 12- O1.doc
4.
g. Varying degrees of privacy for try. . ndividual residents shall be provided;
increasing from the public right -of -way, to common areas, to individual residences. This can
be accomplished through the use of symbolic and actual physical barriers to define the degrees
of privacy appropriate to specific site area functions.
h. Parking and service areas shall be located, designed, and screened to
interrupt and reduce the visual impact of large paved areas;
i. The height, bulk, footprint, and scale of each building shall be in harmony
with its site and adjacent long -term structures.
2. Building design.
a. Architectural style is not restricted, evaluation of a project shall be based on
the quality of its design and its ability to harmonize building texture, shape, lines and mass
with the surrounding neighborhood.
b. Buildings shall be of appropriate height, scale, and design /shape to be in
harmony with those existing permanent neighboring developments which are consistent with,
or envisioned in, the Comprehensive Plan. This will be especially important for perimeter
structures. Adjacent structures that are not in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan
should be considered to be transitional. The degree of architectural harmony required should
be consistent with the non - conforming structure's anticipated permanence.
c. Building components, such as windows, doors, eaves, parapets, stairs and
decks shall be integrated into the overall building design. Particular emphasis shall be given
to harmonious proportions of these components with those of adjacent developments.
Building components and ancillary parts shall be consistent with the anticipated life of the
structure.
d. Thb% overall color scheme shall work to reduce building prominence and
shall blend in with the natural environment.
e. Monotony of design it single or multiple building projects shall be avoided.
Variety of detail, form, and siting shall be used to provide visual interest. Otherwise
monotonous flat walls and uniform vertical planes of individual buildings shall be broken up
with building modulation, stairs, decks, railings, and focal entries. Multiple building
developments shall use siting and additional architectural variety to avoid inappropriate
repetition of building designs and appearance to surrounding properties.
3. Landscape and site treatment.
a. Existing natural topographic patterns and significant vegetation shall be
reflected in project design wherr they contribute to the natural beauty of the area or are
important to defining neighborhood identity or a sense of place.
b. Landscape treatment shall enhance existing natural and architectural
features, help separate public from private spaces, strengthen vistas and important views,
provide shade to moderate the affects of large paved areas, and break up visual mass.
c. Walkways, parking spaces, terraces, and other paved areas shall promote
safety and provide an inviting and stable appearance. Direct pedestrian linkages to the public
street, to on -site recreation areas, and to adjacent public recreation areas shall be provided.
Commercial Pkg 12- 01.doc
,
d. Appropriate landscape transition to adjoining properties shall be provided.
4. Miscellaneous structures.
a. Miscellaneous structures shall be designed as an integral part of the
architectural concept and landscape. Materials shall be compatible with buildings, scale shall
be appropriate, colors shall be in harmony with buildings and surroundings, and structure
proportions shall be to scale.

b. The use of walls, fencing, planti berms, or combinations of these shall
accomplish screening of service yards, and other places that tend to be unsightly. Screening
shall be effective in winter and summer.
c. Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on roof, ground or
buildings shall be screened from view. Screening shall be designed as an integral part of the
architecture (i.e., raised parapets and fully enclosed under roof) and landscaping.
d. Exterior lighting standards and fixtures shall be of a design and size
consistent with safety, building architecture and adjacent area. Lighting shall be shielded, and
restrained in design with no off -site glare spill over. Excessive brightness and brilliant colors
shall not be used unless clearly demonstrated to be integral to building architecture.
D. Tukwila International Boulevard Design Review Criteria. In reviewing any
application for development, in the MUO, NCC, and RC districts within the Tukwila

phrase of this ordinance or its application to any person or situation should be held to be
invalid or unconstitutional for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity
or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions
of this ordinance or its application to any other person or situation.
Section 18. Effective Date. This ordinance or a summary thereof shall be published in
the official newspaper of the City and shall take effect and be in full ofrce and effect five (5)

Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director
Memorandum
Date: December 6, 2001
To: Committee of the Whole
From: Steve Lancaster
Subject: Public Parking Lots or Garages
Background
A City Council briefing occurred at the November 26, 2001 COW meeting on the issues and
previous actions taken by the Planning Commission and CAP.
Steven lvi. Mullet, Mayor
Michael Aippersbach and Jason Horning, representing SRO — the Lewis and Clark Theaters
property, spoke in favor of an additional public hearing on the issue. The Planning
Commission modified the recommendation in the staff report in favor of requiring
commercial parking to be located in structures in commercial districts. The SRO concern is
that in the short term commercial parking would be excluded from properties because the cost
of structured parking would prohibit its development in the City's commercial areas.
The City Council suggested changes to the draft ordinance that have been incorporated in a
revised draft; specifically:
• changing commercial services to commercial activities when referring to the ground floor
uses of a structured garage; and
• eliminating reference to zoning districts when referring to Parking Garage Design
Guidelines in the BAR section.
Structured Parking versus Surface Parking
The Staff Report (Attachment C) to the Planning Commission recommended that commercial
parking be located:
• At least 70 feet back from arterial streets, or
• Behind a building or buildings that substantially screen the parking or in structures with
substantial ground floor retail or commercial services.
The Planning Commission discussed and agreed that the community development goal for the
commercial districts in the City is to have buildings and not expanses of parking and that by

stipulating structures for commercial parking, parking is accommodated while community
goals are achieved.
Commercial Parking Definition
Councilmember Haggerton asked for research on a Washington Administrative Code (WAC) z
definition for "commercial parking." A search of the WACs and RCWs revealed the i ~
following "defmitions." Ce RCW 82.80.030 (3) "Commercial parking business "...means the ownership, lease, o
operation, or management of a commercial parking lot in which fees are charged. u) w
"Commercial parking lot" means a covered or uncovered area with stalls for the _
purpose of parking motor vehicles. a u ..
w 0
The City of Tukwila has a definition as well that reads as follows: —
TMC 3.48.010 (2) Commercial parking means any transaction or arrangement = a
whereby a vehicle is parked and a fee is charged for parking or allowing the vehicle to Z Wm
be parked. I- p
zt-
LLI
The proposed Zoning code definition is slightly different from the above in that the Planning n w
D
Commission was intent on distinguishing between long term storage lots where you might o cn
park you RV and a more short term arrangement such as a park and fly lot. o F-
ii, w
DRAFT (Attachment B) o
TMC 18.06.613 Commercial parking is a use of land or structure for the parking of z
motor vehicles as a commercial enterprise for which hourly, daily or weekly fees are o
charged. p F-
Next Step
Consider and deliberate on testimony from the public hearing.
If the recommendations in the draft ordinance (i.e. structured commercial parking in
commercial districts) or if the proposal in the staff report (i.e. a minimum setback for
commercial parking) or minor modifications, are acceptable then the City Council should
adopt an ordinance at its special meeting on December 10, 2001 or on December 17, 200, if
there is a meeting.
If the Council wishes to consider alternatives that have not previously been considered then
the Council should extend the moratorium for an additional 6 months after a public hearing on
January 7, 2001.

accomplished by use of walls, fencing, planting or combination.
g. In areas where general planting will not prosper, other materials such as fences, walls
and pavings of wood, brick, stone or gravel may be used.
h. Exterior lighting, when used, should enhance the building design and the adjoining
landscape. Lighting standards and fixtures should be of a design and size compatible with the building
and adjacent area. Lighting should be shielded, and restrained in design. Excessive brightness and
brilliant colors should be avoided.

Draft Ordinance: Commercial Parking LO1 -037
1. Site planning.
a. Building siting, architecture, and landscaping shall be integrated into and blend
harmoniously with the neighborhood building scale, natural environment, and development
characteristics as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. For instance, a multi- family development's
design need not be harmoniously integrated with adjacent single family structures if that existing single
family use is designated as "Commercial" or "High Density Residential" in the Comprehensive Plan. z
However, a "Low Density Residential" (detached single family) designation would require such =
harmonious design integration.
b. Natural features which contribute to desirable neighborhood character shall be o o
preserved to the maximum extent possible. Natural features include, but are not limited to, existing w
significant trees and stands of trees, wetlands, streams, and significant topographic features.
(J)
Lu 0
c. The site plan shall use landscaping and building shapes to form an aesthetically
pleasing and pedestrian scale streetscape. This shall include, but not be limited to facilitating pedestrian g
travel along the street, using architecture and landscaping to provide a desirable transition from
streetscape to the building, and providing an integrated linkage from pedestrian and vehicular facilities = w
to building entries. z
H0
d. Pedestrian and vehicular entries shall provide a high quality visual focus using w
building siting, shapes, and landscaping. Such a feature establishes a physical transition between the D
project and public areas, and establishes the initial sense of high quality development. o
ELI
e. Vehicular circulation design shall minimize driveway intersections with the street.
u o
f. Site perimeter design (i.e. landscaping, 'structures, and horizontal width) shall be
coordinated with site development to ensure a harmonious transition between adjacent projects. p
0
z
g. Varying degrees of privacy for the individual residents shall be provided; increasing
from the public right -of -way, to common areas, to individual residences. This can be accomplished
through the use of symbolic and actual physical barriers to define the degrees of privacy appropriate to
specific site area functions.
h. Parking and service areas shall be located, designed, and screened to interrupt and
reduce the visual impact of large paved areas;
i. The height, bulk, footprint, and scale of each building shall be in harmony with its
site and adjacent long -term structures.
2. Building design.
a. Architectural style is not restricted, evaluation of a project shall be based on the quality of
its design and its ability to harmonize building texture, shape, lines and mass with the surrounding
neighborhood.
b. Buildings shall be of appropriate height, scale, and design/shape to be in harmony with
those existing permanent neighboring developments which are consistent with, or envisioned in, the
Comprehensive Plan. This will be especially important for perimeter structures. Adjacent structures
that are not in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan should be considered to be transitional. The
37.

degree of architectural harmony required should be consistent with the non - conforming structure's
anticipated permanence.
c. Building components, such as windows, doors, eaves, parapets, stairs and decks shall be
integrated into the overall building design. Particular emphasis shall be given to harmonious proportions
of these components with those of adjacent developments. Building components and ancillary parts
shall be consistent with the anticipated life of the structure.

d. The overall color scheme shall work to reduce building prominence and shall blend in cc j
with the natural environment. J U

Staff Report to the Planning Commission L01 -037 Commercial Parking Lots
Background
The City Council adopted in July 2000, an emergency moratorium on the "filing of development
permits and approvals relating to public parking lots, park and ride lots or garages for parking
cars" (Attachment B). The moratorium was adopted based upon the possibility of the Port of
Seattle locating an employee parking lot along International BL. The location of large paved
parking areas along the Boulevard raised concerns about the appropriateness of that use in that
and other locations in the City.
At the public hearings held to consider the moratorium, the City Council heard from two people.
A Port of Seattle representative spoke of the desire to foster positive working relationships with
adjacent cities on Port projects. Doug Steinberg of Douglas Printing, 14818 Tukwila
International BL, said that he had plans to use the site adjacent to his business for a park and fly
lot. (Attachment F)
Staff prepared the following analysis to assist in a review of the issues.
Parking of automobiles can be divided into two main use groups:
1. Parking as an accessory use' — whether it's for a residence or a business. The parking is there
because the business or residents want to provide on -site paved area for cars as a
courtesy /necessity for visitors, customers, employees, or owners.
2. Parking as a primary use — where the need to temporarily store cars is not directly related to a
separate primary use of the site. There may or may not be a fee charged to use the parking
space. This type of parking as a primary use can provide a service for businesses within
walking distance or for some distant use. Examples irielude: park and ride lots associated
with public transit; park and fly lots associated with air travel; remote customer or employee
parking lots.
Parking as a primary use provides:
❖ riders for a transit system (Park and Ride Lots)
❖ publicly subsidized parking spaces for commercial centers
❖ auto trip reduction into congested areas such as urban centers, airports, etc.
❖ dispersal of automobile parking to sites outside of congested areas
❖ an economic use of land
• ❖ potentially less auto trips among neighboring sites
❖ revenues for local government (State authorized commercial parking tax)
Parking lots that are a primary use, support (in addition to the rent to the owner) uses that are
typically outside the City limits, whether it's the airport, a transit system, downtown Seattle
employers or businesses. They can also reduce vehicle congestion in these areas. They
sometimes are considered an interim use of land that allow an economic return (without
significant capital) if or until something that provides more return and requires a higher
investment in property improvements.
1 Parking can also be considered a secondary use in situations where there is a primary use, such as a
hotel, and an incidental or subordinate use, such as a park and fly.

Staff Report to the Planning Gurnmission L01 -i„/ Commercial Parking Lots
Issues
Why regulate the location of primary use parking lots?
The City has a critical transportation location. From Tukwila you may easily take a shuttle to the
airport or a bus to downtown Seattle, where weekday parking costs are high. This demand will z
likely grow. ,F- w
ce
Primary use parking is typically on a surface lot and does not have buildings of any significance.
In Tukwila, because businesses are still required to provide accessory parking for customers, -J p
primary use parking lots are not important for the business area in which they are located. They u)
do not usually provide commerce for the surrounding businesses unless the businesses are w
perhaps also auto oriented such as gas stations, detailing, auto repair, etc. In fact, it can damage u-
the character of a retail district, creating pedestrian "dead zones" and adversely affecting the w o
mutual benefits that businesses generally receive by clustering close to one another.
u_Q
What role does Sea - Tac Airport have in the commercial parking market? = d
The Port of Seattle is forecasting growth in the number of employees at the airport as well as Z in
passengers. They have a parking stall standard of one stall for every 2.5 employees. The increase o
in the number of employees as well as travelers will require the Port to continue to expand the w
supply of parking spaces. There will also continue to be a demand for off -site airport parking o
such as Ajax and Quik -Park. A technical report prepared for the Port of Seattle regarding airport o
parking discusses the success of regiopal park and fly facilities that are located more than ten a
miles from the airport and that use express buses on HOV lanes to connect people to the airport. i v
However, implementation of this type of transportation mode has not occurred. ~
� o
The City receives no fees or taxes on airport employee parking, which is free of charge to
employees, although the City would receive economic benefit from Port owned public passenger o
• parking through the City's commercial parking tax and/or the state leasehold tax. City businesses z
gain a possible secondary benefit from employee trips before and after work to adjacent
businesses.
Why are Park and Ride Lots a part of this discussion?
Park and ride lots are similar in character to primary parking lots; however, operationally they
may differ. Similarly, they both tend to be dominated by large paved areas (although size is not
considered in the City's code,) people arrive and depart by car, and the site generates shuttle or
bus trips. With Park and Ride lots however, operating hours more likely coincide with peak
traffic periods and overflow parking in the adjacent neighborhoods will potentially occur.
There appears to be clear Comprehensive Plan support for local/regional public transit facilities
to encourage multi -modal use. (Attachment C) City regulations require a conditional use permit
for a park and ride lot while no special approval is required for commercial parking lots in the
same zoning districts. (Attachment D) Park and ride lots, which are listed as a use allowed
conditionally within the City, are not defined and could meet the definition of a mass transit
facility or an essential public facility, which are unclassified uses throughout all zones. In order
to clarify the issue, a definition is proposed for park and ride lots to distinguish them from mass
transit or essential use facilities.

Staff Report to the Planning Commission L01 -037 Commercial Parking Lots
What are the options for Commercial Parking Lots?
Where the City hopes to create pedestrian oriented retail areas and or mixed use residential
environments, primary use /commercial parking should be carefully reviewed.
The City's Zoning Code currently allows commercial parking in all commercial and industrial
zones (Attachment E - Zone Legend) other than "pedestrian friendly" districts, which are NCC
and RCC. The areas that are most likely markets for this use are in the following zones.
Regional Commercial Zone
There are two regional commercial districts in the City located along Tukwila International
Boulevard. The two districts stretch from S. 160 St. to S. 148 St. and from S. 141 to S. 138 St.
and are one to two lots deep on each side of the Boulevard. Market forces want to locate
commercial parking lots along Tukwila International B1. There is currently one park and fly and
a second under construction. Both are located in the Tukwila International B1 corridor within the
City of Tukwila. Additional lots are located south in the City of SeaTac. There are also a number
of secondary use parks and fly operations in this corridor.
Adopted policies discuss allowing a range of uses including light industrial while also providing
direction on overall district character, visual interest and pedestrian amenities. There is no clear
policy direction regarding disallowing primary use parking lots in the Regional Commercial
(RC) zone. Existing Comprehensive Flan Policy 8.2.1 (Attachment C) however does relate the
need to pay special attention to transportation related development and therefore the need to
carefully site and design the transportation related uses.
Tukwila Urban Center
The goal of the urban center is to encourage a natural and built environment that is attractive,
functional and distinctive and supports a range of uses that promotes business, shopping,
recreation, entertainment and mixed use residential. Parking policy specifically discusses
ensuring the availability of parking for visitors, businesses and employees. The policy does not
discuss supplying parking for areas outside the City. Policy 10.2.3 (Attachment C) addresses the
need to have site guidelines that result in a high quality environment.
Manufacturing Industrial Center (MIC)
The concept of the manufacturing industrial center is to preserve land at prices that allow its use
• for traditional manufacturing jobs, which pay a livable wage. Adopted goals and policies suggest
that commercial parking should not be allowed in the MIC. (Attachment C)
City Council Review
The City Council reviewed the above material and requests the Planning Commission consider
the following plan and code changes. Attached are the minutes from their meeting when this
issue was discussed. (Attachment F)
Page4of7
Staff Report to the Planning Commission L01 -0.., Commercial Parking Lots
Proposed Changes
1. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06)
Add this definition of "park and ride facility" that distinguishes them from mass transit and
essential public facilities.
z
"Park and ride facilit " is a use of land for the tem.ora .arkino of vehicles the t Z
occupants of which transfer to public transit such as bus or rail or into carpools.
2. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06)
Add this definition of primary use parking that compliments the commercial parking tax
definition (TMC 3.48.010(2)) and that describes any commercial parking operation such as park
and fly lots.
"Commercial Parking" is a use of land or structure for the parking or storage of motor
vehicles as a commercial enterprise for which a fee is charged.
Off -site storage of vehicles that is not a commercial enterprise will be considered "storage
(outdoor) of materials..." and will be limited to the Manufacturing Industrial Center, the Heavy
Industrial district and as a conditional use in the TVS.
3. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06)
Delete this definition that is confusing and not applicable.
repair or servicing of motor vehicles or boats as a businesJ
Public garage is listed in the Definitions chapter but not listed as a permitted use anywhere in the
Zoning Code and could be confusing when evaluating use categories and permitted uses.
Auto repair is listed in the Zoning Code as a permitted use as follows: "Automotive services, gas,
washing body and engine repair shops (enclosed within a building)." It is a permitted use in the
NCC and all zones more intensive. Boat repair would fall under the following permitted use
category: "Manufacturing, processing and /or packaging of electrical or mechanical equipment,
vehicles and machines including, but not limited to heavy and light machinery, tools, airplanes,
• boats or other transportation vehicles and equipment," which is a permitted use in C/LI through
MIC/H and conditional in TVS.
Auto repair, boat and RV repairs do not need to be defined as the uses are self - explanatory.
4. Amend the Zoning Code, Permitted Use Sections in the Manufacturing Industrial
Center Zones -MJC/L and MIC/H. (TMC 18.36 and 18.38)
Delete from the Permitted Use Section of the MIC /L and MIC/H zones respectively the
following permitted use.
28. Public parking lots or garages for private passenger cars.
30. Public parking lots or garages for private passenger cars.

Staff Report to the Planning Commission L01 -037 Commercial Parking Lots
• 5. Amend the Zoning Code, Permitted Use Sections in the MUO, 0, RC, RCM, and TUC,
and C/LI, LI, HI, and TVS Zones (TMC 18.16, 18.18, 18.24, 18.26, 18.28 18.30 18.32,
18.34, and 18.40) •
Delete as a permitted use: "Public parking lots or garages for private passenger cars."
This use description is confusing. Does "public parking" refer to municipally provided parking or
parking available to the public? Does private passenger car imply that the garage is only
available to private individuals and not the general public? The proposed definitions for "park
and ride facility" and "commercial parking" are intended to replace this definition. The new term
will be "commercial parking" as defined above under (2.)
6. Amend the Zoning Code Permitted Use Sections in the MUO, 0, RC, RCM and TUC
Zones (TMC 18.16, 18.18, 18.24, 18.26, 18.28)
Add as a permitted use the following:
"Commercial parking located and designed such that the pedestrian and commercial
environments are not negatively impacted by the parking use and subject to these specific
criteria:
• located a minimum of 70 feet from arterials or behind a building or buildings that
substantially screen the parking or in structures with substantial ground floor retail or
commercial services; and '
• compliant with Landscape, Recreation, Recycling/Solid Waster Space Requirements
Chapter (TMC 18.52), and Off - street Parking and Loading Regulations Chapter
(TMC 18.56)."
Commercial parking can negatively impact the quality of the streetscapes and pedestrian retail
areas along Tukwila International Boulevard and within the Tukwila Urban Center. Typically a
new use that requires no new building or Public Works permit would not be required to meet the
Zoning Code standards for landscaping or design review. Compliance with the City's Landscape
Chapter is required when a development is required to go through design review. Design review
is triggered by "development," which is defined in the Zoning Code as:
"Development" means the construction, reconstruction, conversion, structural alteration,
• relocation or enlargement of any structure that requires a building permit. (TMC 18.06.210)
A commercial parking business may not meet the definition of development if they can operate
with existing buildings or if they can operate without a building. Hence the need to require
compliance with the Landscaping and Parking Regulations Chapters of the Zoning Code.
7. Amend the Zoning Code Permitted Use Sections in the C/LI, LI, HI, and TVS Zones
(TMC18.30 18.32, 18.34, and 18.40)
Add as a permitted use the following:

; ""
WHEREAS, the City desires t„ preserve the status quo for the protection 01 ..,e health,
safety and welfare of City residents, as it relates to development in Tukwila, until these matters
are more fully considered;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings of Fact. The "Whereas" clauses, above, are hereby adopted by
reference as the City Council's findings of fact as if fully set forth herein.
Section 2. Moratorium Established. A moratorium is hereby established upon the filing of
development permits and approvals relating to public parking lots, park- and -ride lots or garages
for private passenger cars. For the purposes of this ordinance, the term "public parking lots or
garages for private passenger cars" means any area or structure devoted or intended to be used
principally for the parking or storage of motor vehicles, which parking is not directly associated
with and incidental to another lawful use on the same, or immediately adjacent lot or parcel.
"Development permits and approvals" shall include, but are not limited to, Conditional and /or
Unclassified Use Permits, any required environmental reviews, subdivision approvals, short
subdivision approvals, site plan review approvals, approvals for any and all rezones, approvals
for any and all building permits for development activity resulting in the alteration of existing
premises or the creation of new premises related to public parking lots or garages, land altering
permits or any other required permits or approvals. No such new applications shall be accepted
during the effective period of this moratorium; provided, however, that this moratorium shall
not affect vested rights, if any, applicable to any such previously submitted and fully completed
applications.
A. The proposed parking lot development known as "Quik Park" (with an identified
location within the City at 3610 South 158th Street under File Nos. L99 -0010, E99 -0005, L99 -0064
and L2000 -033) is excepted from this ordinance. This exception is due to the fact that "Quik
Park" has obtained City Council approval of a street vacation and realignment, has submitted
complete development permit applications prior to the effective date of the moratorium and has
invested considerable capital toward the proposed project.
B. The proposed park- and -ride lot development known as Tukwila /Longacres
Commuter Rail Station (File Nos. L99 -0042 and L99 -0043) is excepted from this ordinance. This
exception is due to the fact that Tukwila /Longacres Commuter Rail Station project has
submitted complete land use development applications, and both the applicant's staff and City
staff have already done extensive review of this project since the submittal of June 8, 1999.
Section 4. Effective Period of Moratorium. The moratorium established by this ordinance
shall become effective as set forth in Section 8 below, and shall continue in effect for six months
thereafter unless repealed, renewed or modified by the City Council after a subsequent public
hearing and entry of findings of fact.
Section 5. Public HeArilig to be Held. A public hearing on the issue of the moratorium
shall be held no later than sixty (60) days after the date of adoption herein.
Section 6. Work Program. The Mayor is authorized to allocate the necessary resources to
prepare a work program to address the land use and transportation planning issues identified in
this ordinance and the City shall implement such a work program.
Section 7. Severability. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase
of this ordinance or its application to any person or circumstance, be declared unconstitutional
or otherwise invalid for any reason, or should any portion of this ordinance be pre - empted by
state or federal law or regulation, such decision or pre - emption shall not affect the validity or
constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance or its application to any other•
persons or circumstances.
0
Section 3. Exception.
Section 8. Effective Date. This ordinance, as a public emergency ordinance necessary for
the protection of the public health, public safety, public property, or public peace, shall take
effect and be in full force immediately upon its adoption. Pursuant to Matson v. Clark County
Board of Commissioners, 79 Wn.App. 641, 904 P.2d 317 (1995), underlying facts necessary to
support this emergency declaration are included in Section 1 and in the "whereas" clauses
above, all of which are adopted by reference. Additionally, absent this emergency declaration,
property owners could obtain vested rights to develop contrary to the Comprehensive Plan or
development regulations, during the period between adoption and five days after publication
of the ordinance.

Gary Malcom 10144 Rainer Ave., So., Seattle, on behalf of the Silver Dollar Casino, presented the
businesses preferred alternative to existing trees in front of the business. An alternative is sought as trees
obstruct the view of reader boards and signage.
The proposal suggests replacement of trees with park benches and fine art sculptures. The business
readily volunteers to incur all expenses for benches and art work; and has volunteered to work with Ciry
staff and/or Arts Commission to determine appropriate artwork and design of the area.
Mr. Malcom views the idea as a win -win situation. It's good for their business (no blockage of signs)
and good for providing a "human" element to the area and would be inviting to the public.
Ms. Linder suggested, Council concurred, the issue be forwarded to the Community Affairs & Parks
Committee agenda two weeks hence.
SPECIAL ISSUES:
Parking Moratorium — Recommended Code Changes
Moira Bradshaw, Associate Planner, informed Council this issue has been reviewed and discussed at :he
Community Affairs & Parks Committee on April 10. That committee concurred with staff
recommendations and agreed to forward them to COW for consideration.
,4#aMin,-4Y

Minutes, 5/14/01 Page 2 of
On July 17, 2000, Council adopted an ordinance to impose a moratorium on the filing of development
and/or land use permits for public parking lots, park and ride lots or garages for private passenger cars.
Said ordinance expires on July 10, 2001.
In order to mitigate negative impacts of new parking lots adjacent to Tukwila International Boulevard
(hereinafter referred to as TIB), in the RC districts and in the Tukwila Urban Center, City recommends
providing definitions for "park and ride lots" that distinguish them from mass transit and essential public
facilities; and "parking as a primary use" that compliments the commercial parking tax definition. Next.
staff recommends deleting Commercial Parking as a permitted use in the MIC zones; creating a policy
that articulates the City's desire to minimize the negative impacts of commercial parking lots on the
character of the TIB corridor; and, finally, developing new regulations to ensure a high quality
streetscape along TIB and within the Tukwila Urban Center by regulating "parking as a primary use."
Primary use parking should be located behind a building or building pad with screening and/or in
structures with substantial ground floor retail.
A map provided to Council outlines areas where stand -alone parking lots are allowed within the City.
This is parking that could be used for park and ride or park and fly lots. The City has no stand alone lots
in downtown as businesses are required to maintain parking lots /places for customers.
The main issue at hand is park and fly lots. Park and ride lots are similar to stand alone lots and are
allowed as a conditional use in commercial and industrial zones.
The Comprehensive Plan and relevant definitions have been reviewed by staff who has found policy
statements which support the eliminates stand alone parking lots as a permitted use in MIC. Staff also
found clear policy language which would allow the elimination of stand alone lots in urban center.
Conversely, policy language for TIB is not as clear. Staff suggests, if Council agrees, a plan to provide
for more direction on how to handle stand alone lots in affected zones on TIB.
The next step is for Council to forward these recommendations to the City's Planning Commission,
where they review suggestions and send the items back to Council for final approval.
Mr. Haggerton voiced concern over the possibility of legal loopholes when developing area by area
instead of an all- inclusive, general plan for parking. He asked if this method was originally an oversight.
Ms. Bradshaw noted it was not so much of an oversight as it is a refinement to larger parking lots. There
is a growing demand in Tukwila in light of SeaTac Airport growth and expansion.
Ms. Bradshaw informed Council that staff believes this to be of an emergent nature. That being the case,
the City may (within 6 months) make modifications to the Comprehensive Plan. At that,
Councilmember Fenton suggested Mr. Haggerton has a good idea for "umbrella coverage" versus a
neighborhood by neighborhood approach. He suggested that without reinventing the wheel, City staff
could make the overall program work better if they took the umbrella coverage approach.
Council concurred they are opposed to stand alone parking. Ms. Bradshaw stated park and ride lots are
allowable now as a conditional use. Park and fly lots are stand -alone lots and thus, not allowable in
commercial zones and are not a permitted use.
Doug Steinberg, Doug's Printing, TIB, spoke out of concern of not being able to use the extra lot he
bought next to his building as a parking lot. Individuals have approached him and encouraged him to
open a park and fly lot. In addition to selling the lot, he has also considered it for that use as retirement
Minutes, 5/14/01
Page 3 of 3
income. Mr. Steinberg also hoped to bring additional retail dollars into the area by allowing use of the
lot and having customers visiting nearby establishments.
Gary Malcom, on behalf of Silver Dollar Casino, noted the Silver Dollar's desire to perhaps build a
hotel; thus resulting in the need for additional parking. He asked if this portion of the discussion would
affect his business. Council responded in the negative.
Council then considered each staff recommendation individually and Council voiced their preferences.
Mr. Duffle is not in favor of park and fly lots.
Ms. Carter noted park and ride lots would be ok; yet she'd rather not park and fly lots. They may,
however, be alright if there were ground floor retail space available; allowing for foot traffic on the
street.
Mr. Haggerton noted he would entertain the notion of structured parking; but not flat parking and not
park and fly options.
Ms. Linder spoke in favor of a review of structured parking; but is opposed to its facing TIB. She does
like the idea of first floor retail.
Mr. Fenton is not in favor of mass ground parking; yet is in favor of structured parking and likes the idea
of first floor retail options.
Mr. Simpson concurred with those statements of Councilmember Fenton.
Ms. Hernandez is not in favor of stand -alone parking; yet would consider structured parking.
Moira Bradshaw asked Council if they would entertain the notion of having retail in front (facing TIB),
with parking in the rear. Overall Council consensus showed the idea is worth investigating.
Ms. Hernandez noted these items will be forwarded to the Planning Commission for consideration.
Understanding Council's desires, Ms. Bradshaw noted a public hearing will be held in June or July by
the Planning Commission. The items would then be remanded to the full Council in September or
October, 2001 for adoption.
In the meantime, a public hearing will need to be set to extend the moratorium, allowing staff and the
Planning Commission the time necessary to achieve their goals. The ordinance is in effect until July 10,
2001.

MEMORANDUM

Moira Bradshaw, Associate Planner (206- 431 -3651)
City of Tukwila
From: Michael Aippersbach
Re: Lewis & Clark Site (15820 Pacific Highway South, Tukwila)
Date: 12-6-2001/Thursday
Via E -Mail (Revised)
Re: Proposed Revisons to Planning Commission's Recommendation to
City Council - Commercial Parking Lots
After a detailed review of the Planning Commission's recommedned zoning code
changes to the Tukwila Zoning Code regarding commercial parking, we submit to
the City Council our suggested revisions that follow:
Our Area of Concern and Recommendation
Our area of concern is limited to the following section of the Tukwila Zoning
Code:
Section 12 of 18.24.020 Permitted Uses (Regional Commercial Districts)
As it applies to the above code section reference, we are proposing to the
City Council for their public hearing on this matter on Monday, December 10,
2001 substitute additional wording (in italics) as follows:
Commercial Parking located in structures with substantial ground floor
retail or commercial services and designed such that the pedestrian
and commercial environments are not negatively impacted by the
narking use. Note: An exception to this requirement: Where (1) there
is existing development or structures a minimum of fifteen (15) feet in
height which would remain in place, (2) located along the International
Boulevard (Highway 99) frontage and would substantially screen any
surface commercial parking not contained in a structure, commercial
parking would be permitted which does not have substantial ground
floor retail or commercial services. Such commercial parking is subject to
the Off -Site Parking and Loading Chapter (18.56 TMC).
We hope our (the above) proposed revisions to the Planning Commission's
recommendations to the City Council (and reviewed at the Council's November
26 meeting - Agenda item 4.(b) - are clear. Please let me know if you need
anything more!
You can reach me at (206) 523 -3764, e-mail me at aipp @prodigy.net, or fax me
at (206) 524 -0337. Thanks!

CITIZEN COMMENT /CORRESPONDENCE: None.
PUBLIC HEARING:
An Ordinance Amending Tukwila Municipal Code, Title 18, (Zoning), to Regulate Location and
Development of Commercial Parking Lots and Structures, Including Park and Ride Uses.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL, OF
THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON,
AMENDING TUKWILA MUNICIPAL CODE
TITLE 18, THE CITY'S ZONING CODE, TO
REGULATE THE LOCATION AND
DEVELOPMENT OF COMMERCIAL PARKING
LOTS AND STRUCTURES INCLUDING PAR -
AND -RIDE USES; REPEALING ORDINANCE NO.
1758, AS CODIFIED AT TMC 18.06.350;
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND
ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE
8:22 p.m. Mayor Mullet opened the public hearing.
Moira Bradshaw, Associate Planner, summarized contents of the draft ordinance, including "changing
commercial services to commercial activities when referring to the ground floor uses of a structured
garage; and eliminating reference to zoning districts when referring to Park Garage Design Guidelines in
the BAR section."
It was suggested commercial parking be located at least 70 feet back from arterial streets; or behind a
building or buildings that substantially screen the parking or in structures with substantial ground floor
retail or commercial views.
PUBLIC TESTIMONY:
Leonard McGee, Sound Transit Light Rail, 401 South Jackson, Seattle., supports the proposed
ordinance and recognizes its value. Mr. McGee sought clarification to the proposed ordinance as it
relates to mass - transit facilities; and their definition within the Tukwila Municipal Code.
David Schooler, President SRO, Bellevue., was not present at the public hearing held by the Planning
Commission. His company (SRO) owns a 26 -acre piece of property that may be affected by the potential
ordinance. (Lewis & Clark Theater and Lanes).
Citing the life expectancy of the theater (currently in bankruptcy court) of two more years, Mr. Schooler
expects no new lease after that two -year period of time. He said commercial parking makes sense and is
not an inexpensive proposition. Under development by SRO, near the location in question, is a $6
million park and fly lot. Mr. Schooler asked Council to consider further testimony on this issue and
suggested more information should be gathered before a final decision is made.
Anna Bernhard, resident, Tukwila., spoke in favor of Council extending the moratorium on this issue
http://www.ci.tukwila.wa.us/clerk/docs01/rm12-10.htm
01/07/2002
Minutes, 12/10/01 Page 3 of 5
as too much confusion still exists to make an informed decision.
8:50 p.m. Mayor Mullet closed the public hearing.
After considerable discussion between City Councilmembers, Moira Bradshaw and Steve Lancaster, it
was decided more information was needed. Staff is to develop options concerning structured parking
versus surface parking; and potential siting locations for both. Additionally, Council asked for buffering
ideas (setbacks or screening) of commercial parking lots. 2
Staff will provide requested information in an updated, draft ordinance, on Monday, December 17, v o

b. Demonstration Program — Innovative Development — Tukwila International Boulevard — Urban
Renewal Area (Discussion)
Moira Bradshaw, Associate Planner, DCD, noted additional efforts are being recommended to stimulate
the type and intensity of development desired for Tukwila International Boulevard corridor. To that end,
City staff suggests modification of the Tukwila Municipal Code to allow "Demonstration" projects that
have the ability to deviate from the "norms" and standards of the Zoning Code.
It was reported the Community Affairs and Parks Committee agreed with most recommendations made
by the Planning Commission on this issue; yet believe other inducements should be offered, including
design flexibility (on a trial basis) within the proposed area.
Additionally, the Planning Commission recommended land use permit fees be waived on projects in the
affected area; and that a Type 4 process (Board of Architectural Review, or "BAR") is the appropriate
decision - making body for review of projects in the "Demonstration Program." The Community Affairs
and Parks Committee opposed the Type 4 process and suggested, instead, a Type 2 process, wherein
DCD Director, Steve Lancaster, would be charged with the responsibility of initial decision making.
Considerable discussions, questions and clarifications took place between City and staff. In the end, it
was decided City Staff would set a public hearing, do additional work on this item, and return to Council
at a later date with a proposed draft ordinance, encompassing suggestions /direction of Council.
FENTON MOVED; HAGGERTON SECONDED; TO DISPENSE WITH REPORTS.*
Councilmember Carter spoke in favor of being able to provide "short" reports. In the interest of the late

18.60.050 Design review criteria.
A. Generally. The BAR is authorized to request and rely upon any document, guideline, or
other consideration it deems relevant or useful to satisfy the purpose and objectives of this
chapter, specifically including but not limited to the following criteria. The applicant shall bear
the full burden of proof that the proposed development plans satisfy all of the criteria. The BAR
may modify a literal interpretation of the design review criteria if, in their judgment such
modifications better implement the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies.
B. Commercial and Light Industrial Design Review Criteria. The following criteria shall
be considered in all cases, except that multi - family, hotel or motel developments, outside of the
Tukwila International Boulevard corridor, shall use the multi - family, hotel and motel design
review criteria, and developments within the MUO, NCC and RC districts of the Tukwila
International Boulevard corridor (see Figure 18 -9) shall use the Tukwila International Boulevard
design review criteria of this chapter instead:
1. Relationship of stntcture to site.
a. The site should be planned to accomplish a desirable transition with streetscape
and to provide for adequate landscaping and pedestrian movement.
b. Parking and service areas should be located, designed and screened to
moderate the visual impact of large paved areas.

c. Public buildings and structures should be consistent with the established
neighborhood character.
d. Compatibility of vehicular pedestrian circulation patterns and loading facilities
in terms of safety, efficiency and convenience should be encouraged.
encouraged.
3. Landscaping and site treatment.
a. Where existing topographic patterns contribute to beauty and utility of a
development, they should be recognized, preserved and enhanced.
b. Grades of walks, parking spaces, terraces and other paved areas should
promote safety and provide an inviting and stable appearance.
c. Landscape treatment should enhance architectural features, strengthen vistas
and important axis, and provide shade.
d. In locations where plants will be susceptible to injury by pedestrian or motor
traffic, mitigating steps should be taken.
e. Where building sites limit planting, the placement of trees or shrubs in paved
areas is encouraged.
f. Screening of service yards, and other places that tend to be unsightly, should be
accomplished by use of walls, fencing, planting or combination.
g. In areas where general planting will not prosper, other materials such as fences,
walls and pavings of wood, brick, stone or gravel may be used.
h. Exterior lighting, when used, should enhance the building design and the
adjoining landscape. Lighting standards and fixtures should be of a design and size compatible
with the building and adjacent area. Lighting should be shielded, and restrained in design.
Excessive brightness and brilliant colors should be avoided.
4. Building design.
a. Architectural style is not restricted; evaluation of a project should be based on
quality of its design and relationship to its surroundings.
b. Buildings should be to appropriate scale and in harmony with permanent
neighboring developments.
c. Building components such as windows, doors, eaves, and parapets should have
good proportions and relationship to one another. Building components and ancillary parts shall
be consistent with anticipated life of the structure.

proportions should be to scale.
b. Lighting in connection with miscellaneous structures and street furniture
should meet the guidelines applicable to site, landscape and buildings.
C. Multi - Family, Hotel and Motel Design Review Criteria. In reviewing any multi - family,
hotel or motel application the following criteria shall be used by the BAR in its decision making as
well as the Multi - Family Design Manual.
1. Site planning.
a. Building siting, architecture, and landscaping shall be integrated into and blend
harmoniously with the neighborhood building scale, natural environment, and development
characteristics as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. For instance, a multi - family
development's design need not be harmoniously integrated with adjacent single family structures
if that existing single family use is designated as "Commercial" or "High Density Residential" in
the Comprehensive Plan. However, a "Low Density Residential" (detached single family)
designation would require such harmonious design integration.
b. Natural features which contribute to desirable neighborhood character shall be
preserved to the maximum extent possible. Natural features include, but are not limited to,
existing significant trees and stands of trees, wetlands, streams, and significant topographic
features.
c. The site plan shall use landscaping and building shapes to form an aesthetically
pleasing and pedestrian scale streetscape. This shall include, but not be limited to facilitating
pedestrian travel along the street, using architecture and landscaping to provide a desirable
transition from streetscape to the building, and providing an integrated linkage from pedestrian
and vehicular facilities to building entries.
d. Pedestrian and vehicular entries shall provide a high quality visual focus using
building siting, shapes, and landscaping. Such a feature establishes a physical transition between
the project and public areas, and establishes the initial sense of high quality development.
street.
e. Vehicular circulation design shall minimize driveway intersections with the
f. Site perimeter design (i.e. landscaping, structures, and horizontal width) shall
be coordinated with site development to ensure a harmonious transition between adjacent
projects.
g. Varying degrees of privacy for the individual residents shall be provided;
increasing from the public right -of -way, to common areas, to individual residences. This can be
accomplished through the use of symbolic and actual physical barriers to define the degrees of
privacy appropriate to specific site area functions.
h. Parking and service areas shall be located, designed, and screened to interrupt
and reduce the visual impact of large paved areas;
i. The height, bulk, footprint, and scale of each building shall be in harmony with
its site and adjacent long -term structures.
2. Building design.
a. Architectural style is not restricted, evaluation of a project shall be based on the
quality of its design and its ability to harmonize building texture, shape, lines and mass with the
surrounding neighborhood.
b. Buildings shall be of appropriate height, scale, and design /shape to be in
harmony with those existing permanent neighboring developments which are consistent with, or
envisioned in, the Comprehensive Plan. This will be especially important for perimeter structures.
Adjacent structures that are not in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan should be
considered to be transitional. The degree of architectural harmony required should be consistent
with the non - conforming structure's anticipated permanence.

"'
c. Building components, . ...h as windows, doors, eaves, parapets, stairs an .,ecks
shall be integrated into the overall building design. Particular emphasis shall be given to
harmonious proportions of these components with those of adjacent developments. Building
components and ancillary parts shall be consistent with the anticipated life of the structure.
d. The overall color scheme shall work to reduce building prominence and shall
blend in with the natural environment.
e. Monotony of design in single or multiple building projects shall be avoided.
Variety of detail, form, and siting shall be used to provide visual interest. Otherwise monotonous
flat walls and uniform vertical planes of individual buildings shall be broken up with building
modulation, stairs, decks, railings, and focal entries. Multiple building developments shall use
siting and additional architectural variety to avoid inappropriate repetition of building designs
and appearance to surrounding properties.
3. Landscape and site treatment.
a. Existing natural topographic patterns and significant vegetation shall be
reflected in project design when they contribute to the natural beauty of the area or are important
to defining neighborhood identity or a sense of place.
b. Landscape treatment shall enhance existing natural and architectural features,
help separate public from private spaces, strengthen vistas and important views, provide shade to
moderate the affects of large paved areas, and break up visual mass.
c. Walkways, parking spaces, terraces, and other paved areas shall promote safety
and provide an inviting and stable appearance. Direct pedestrian linkages to the public street, to
on -site recreation areas, and to adjacent public recreation areas shall be provided.
d. Appropriate landscape transition to adjoining properties shall be provided.
4. Miscellaneous structures.
a. Miscellaneous structures shall be designed as an integral part of the
architectural concept and landscape. Materials shall be compatible with buildings, scale shall be
appropriate, colors shall be in harmony with buildings and surroundings, and structure
proportions shall be to scale.
b. The use of walls, fencing, planting, berms, or combinations of these shall
accomplish screening of service yards, and other places that tend to be unsightly. Screening shall
be effective in winter and summer.
c. Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on roof, ground or buildings
shall be screened from view. Screening shall be designed as an integral part of the architecture
(i.e., raised parapets and fully enclosed under roof) and landscaping.
d. Exterior lighting standards and fixtures shall be of a design and size consistent
with safety, building architecture and adjacent area. Lighting shall be shielded, and restrained in
design with no off -site glare spill over. Excessive brightness and brilliant colors shall not be used
unless clearly demonstrated to be integral to building architecture.
D. Tukwila International Boulevard Design Review Criteria. In reviewing any
application for development, in the MUO, NCC, and RC districts within the Tukwila International
Boulevard study area (see Figure 18 -9), the design criteria and guidelines of the Tukwila
International Boulevard Design Manual, as amended, shall be used by the BAR in its decision
making.
E. Parking Structure Design Guidelines. The Parking Structure Design Guidelines shall
be used whenever the provisions of this Title require a design review decision on proposed or
modified parking structures."
Section 17. Severability. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of
this ordinance or its application to any person or situation should be held to be invalid or
unconstitutional for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or
unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this
ordinance or its application to any other person or situation.

Public Parking Lots or Garages
Page 1 of 2
Community Affairs and Parks Review
At the October 23 Community Affairs and Parks (CAP) meeting, the Committee reviewed the
Planning Commission's recommendation and asked for clarification on how off -site employee
parking would be treated and asked for a revised definition for Park and Ride facility.
The following clarification was provided on airport employee parking and CAP recommends
the following -- revised definition for Park and Ride.
Off - site Employee Parking:
There is currently confusing language in the Zoning Code regarding parking, and by
extension parking for airport employees. The recommendations of the Planning
Commission will clarify the City's position on the various types of automobile parking.
1. The Planning Commission recommends the deletion of the following permitted use
from all zones: "Public parking lots or garages for private passenger cars." No
definition exists in the Code for this ambiguous "permitted use."
2. Any parking must be accessory to a permitted, conditional or unclassified use or be an
outright permitted parking.
3. The Planning Commission recommends a new type of permitted use: "Commercial
parking," that is defined as the parking of automobiles as a commercial enterprise for a
fee.
4. The Zoning Code lists airports as an unclassified use in the TUC, C /LI, LI, HI, MIC /L
and H and TVS. The Off - street Parking Chapter (TMC 18.56) requires a minimum
number of off street parking to be provided as an accessory use in all zones according to
the primary use. (TMC 18.56.020 and 18.56.050.) Covenant or off -site parking (TMC
18.56.070) allows off -site parking to be provided on a lot other than the lot of the use to
which it is accessory subject to specific conditions.
5. Airport related employee parking would be allowed only in the above zones and subject
to approval of an unclassified use permit and the recording of a covenant to which the
City is a party.

6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 -431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3665
Revised Park and Ride Definition:
"Park and Ride Facility" means a facility for temporarily parking automobiles, the
occupants of which transfer to public transit to continue their trips.
The above definition as well as the remaining recommendations of the Planning Commission
are incorporated into a draft ordinance.
Next Step
Review draft ordinance and schedule a public hearing for December 10, 2001.

Subject: Re: City Council Ordinance on Commercial Parking Lots
Moira - I have reviewed the memo that went to committee. I don't think that it makes clear how airport
employee parking will be treated. It talks about allowing such parking as an accessory to the principle
use, the airport. It then talks about the airport as an unclassified use. It then concludes that because the
airport is an unclassified use, the parking must also be processed as an unclassified use. I think an
argument can be made that if an airport (unclassified use exists) that accessory parking is permitted
without the need for an additional unclassified use process because that additional process is not
specifically called out in the code (such an argument is likely to prevail in the Court's because ambiguities
or grey areas are typically resolved in favor of the land owner). The code should make clear that any
parking associated with an unclassified use must also go through the unclassified use process. Let me
know if this makes any sense to you. If not, call me so we can discuss the matter further. Bob Noe

Subject: Re: City Council Ordinance on Commercial Parking Lots
Bob -
SeaTac airport does not currently own or include within their Master Plan any property within the City of
Tukwila. (I'm assuming) In order for the Port to expand their airport operations for any accessory use
associated with the airport within the City of Tukwila, would not the property have to be zoned to allow
airport use as a permitted, conditional or unclassified use and the appropriate approvals and would not
permits have to be obtained?
You said - " I think an argument can be made that if an airport (unclassified use exists) that accessory
parking is permitted without the need for an additional unclassified use process because that additional
process is not specifically called out in the code (such an argument is likely to prevail in the Court's
because ambiguities or grey areas are typically resolved in favor of the land owner). "
The City has not issued any unclassified use permit or other permits or approvals to the Port of Seattle for
SeaTac.
You said, "The code should make clear that any parking associated with an unclassified use must also go
through the unclassified use process. "
As an example, if the Port wants to buy and locate parking on RC zoned property, would not the site's
zoning need to list as a permitted use either "airports" or "employee parking" or "parking" or some use
that fits a category listed as permitted, unclassified or conditional, or accessory to a permitted?

employee parking be treated. It talks about allowi _ uch parking as an accessory to the principle
use, the airport. It then : ks about the airport as - - unclassified use. It then concludes that because the
airport is an unclassified us-, e parking mu -Iso be processed as an unclassified use.
Let me know if this makes . y sense to you. not, call me so we can discuss the matter further. Bob

Subject: Re: City Council Ordinance on Commercial Parking Lots
Moira - Yes I agree with you. Assume, however, that airports are permitted in the RC as an unclassified
use. Does this mean that the airport operator can automatically get a parking lot for its employees or does
the parking lot have to be approved separately as an unclassified use? I think the code should clearly
indicate that the parking lot must be approved for an unclassified use separate and apart from any other
unclassified use approval. What do you think? SeaTac airport presents a unique situation. There the
airport is not within the same zone as the parking lot. In fact, the airport is not within our jurisdiction.
Clearly, an unclassified use process is likely necessary to approve a parking lot. Does the code make this
clear? Bob

You said, "Our code should make clear that any employee parking lot will
only be permitted if the such a parking lot is listed as a permitted
unclassified use within the zone."
Under Accessory Uses in each zone is the following language.
" Uses and structures customarily appurtenant to a permitted use, and
clearly incidental to such permitted use, are allowed within the Zone as
follows:
parking areas."
There are two definitions that will relate to parking : Commercial Parking
and Park and Ride Lots. Both of which are defined in the draft ordinance.
Please review those.
.••..-
Moira - I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion. It appears to me that
the code, as currently written, does not permit the airport to locate a
parking lot for employees anywhere within Tukwila. Clearly, the parking lot
would not be an "accessory use ". The parking lot could only be an accessory
use to a principal permitted use. The airport would first have to locate
within the zone, then it could build an "accessory use" parking lot. As far
as I know, the airport has no plans of building an airport in Tukwila.
Also, the airport could not build a stand alone parking lot for employees
because such a parking lot does not fit within the definition of either a
"park and ride lot" or of a "commercial parking lot ". The airport could
argue that the parking lot is an "essential public facility" in which case
the City would have to permit it under an unclassified use permit consistent
with the siting of such a facility. I will be in Tukwila tomorrow,
Thursday, we should meet to discuss this further. Thanks. Bob Noe
My response:
The Off - street Parking and Loading Regulations Chapter of the Zoning Code,
section 18.56.020 Chapter Application , says:
"Off- street parking and loading spaces shall be provided as an accessory use
in all zones in accordance with the requirements of this chapter, at the
time any building or structure is erected, enlarged or at the time there is
a change in its principal use. "
No where in the Zoning Code is "employee parking" listed as a principal or
primary use.
'�
18.06.611 Park and Ride. "Park and Ride" means a facility for temporarily
parking automobiles, the occupants of which transfer to public transit to
continue their trips.
18.06.613 Parking, commercial. "Commercial parking" is a use of land or
structure for the parking of motor vehicles as a commercial enterprise for
which hourly, daily or weekly fees are charged.
Do you agree that if the Port of Seattle wanted to use land for an airport
related use, that they would need to locate in a district in the City where
"airports..." are listed as an unclassified use? And that they would need to
follow the procedures for a Type 5 unclassified use permit?
Thanks. Moira

COMMITTEE OF WHOLE MEETING — 7:00 p.m.
CALL TO ORDER /PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE:
Calling the meeting to order at 7:03 p.m., Council President Joan Hernandez led the flag salute.
COUNCIL ATTENDANCE:
Present were Council President Joan Hernandez; and, Councilmembers Joe Duffie, Pam Carter, Jim Haggerton, Pamela
Linder, David Fenton and Richard Simpson.
John McFarland, City Administrator; Rhonda Berry, Assistant City Administrator; Bob Baker Deputy City Clerk; Lucy
Lauterbach, Legislative Analyst; Alan Doerschel, Finance Director; Steve Lancaster, Community Development Director;
Moira Bradshaw, Senior Planner; and Gail Labanara, Public Works Analyst.
CITIZEN COMMENT /CORRESPONDENCE: None.
PUBLIC HEARING:
Proposed 2002 Budget; 2002 -2007 Finance Planning Model and Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
7:05 p.m. Council President Hernandez opened the public hearing.
Alan Doerschel, Finance Director, spoke of proposed changes to the budget as discussed thus far: Revenue estimates
based upon a clearer understanding of 2001 ending fund balances, the impact of Initiative 747 on property tax receipts
and what is believed to be a more realistic local, regional and national economic forecast.
Sales tax revenues have been adjusted to reflect an estimated $100,000.00 shortfall for 2001. Property tax revenues have
been adjusted to reflect the impact of 1 -747. Over the six -year period, the City will reduce total property tax receipts by
an estimated $2.42 million. The beginning fund balances have been adjusted based on actuals to date and recent
decisions to not fill various position vacancies. Projected carryover each year has increased to reflect the labor vacancy
savings. CIP Project costs have been adjusted to reflect the revised revenue projections and the impact on those projects
identified in the plan as funded.
The overall shortfall at the end of six year is $6.2 million. Under current revenue pictures, the City slowly diminishes its
capacity to support the capital plan. The City will not reach a budget deficit until 2006.
The responsibility will fall upon elected officials to make potentially unpopular decisions regarding maintenance and
operations versus capital expenditures.
Wendy Morgan, 18623 — 48th Place South, SeaTac, continued in her efforts on behalf of the Historical Society to acquire
monies from the City. The money would be coupled with a $1,000.00 grant received from King County, to obtain the
services of an archivist to index and properly preserve historical documents.
Rene Blanchett, Julie David, Rocco Morgan, Scott Sweet, Rachael Blanchett and Jeff Vert, all spoke in favor of acquiring
lighting at Showalter Middle School Field. Currently, soccer leagues have very little daylight for season turnouts. Lighted
sportfields, several stated, would benefit many outdoor sports. All asked for lighting in or by 2003.
Council referred the matter to the Community Affairs and Parks Committee for further discussion and information.

City Council Committee of Whole Minutes November 26, 2001
7 :43 p.m. Council President Hernandez closed the public hearing.
Council spoke in favor of supporting the potential of collaborating with the Youth Soccer Association and School District
officials to achieve positive results on this request. Mayor Mullet noted his agreement with the suggestion.
SPECIAL ISSUES:
a. Proposed ordinance extending Sign Code amortization program deadline
Moira Bradshaw, Senior Planner, introduced the proposed ordinance to Council and noted a current moratorium deadline
of December 31, 2001, The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed extension. No citizen
comment was received. Along with the Planning Commission, the Community Affairs and Parks Committee support the
proposed one -year extension.
Councilmembers Fenton and Haggerton spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance; yet noted their preference of no
further extensions.
Council consensus existed to forward this item to the December 3, Regular meeting, for action /consideration.
b. Proposed ordinance containing Zoning Code Commercial Parking amendments
Moira Bradshaw, Senior Planner, provided clarification on airport employee parking as well as the recommendations of
the Community Affairs & Parks Committee, after their October 23 meeting. The current moratorium expires on January
10, 2002.
She noted the TMC contains confusing language in the Zoning Code regarding parking; and by extension parking for
airport employees. After review of the issue, the Planning Commission recommends deleting "Public parking lots or
garages for private passenger cars" as a permitted use, from all zones. Additionally, the Planning Commission
recommends a new type of permitted use that defines Commercial parking as, "the parking of automobiles as a
commercial enterprise for a fee."
The Planning Commission has also created a new "Park and Ride Facility definition as well. It is defined as, "A facility for
temporarily parking automobiles, the occupants of which transfer to public transit to continue their trips.
Michael Aippersbach, P. O. Box 95429, Seattle, representing SRO theater, appeared with Jason Horning, on behalf of
Sterling Realty, P. O. Box 97123, Bellevue, Mr. Aippersbach spoke in favor of a public hearing on this issue.
Citing potentially cost - prohibitive land prices, Mr. Aippersbach spoke against requiring structured parking at the theater.
He also spoke against the cost - prohibitive price -per- parking stall (approximately $15,000.00).
Flexibility is very important, Mr. Aippersbach noted, when creating the new ordinance. He asked for flexibility until the
theater property is "right" for development.
After receiving answers to questions posed, the Council spoke in favor of holding a public hearing on this issue.
The public hearing shall be held on December 10, 2001.
c. Interlocal agreement regarding transporting/housing of prisoners
John McFarland, City Administrator, reviewed contents of the proposed agreement with Council. He noted the City of
Renton has agreed to act as the transfer point for prisoners to be housed in the Yakima County Jail facility. The proposed
interlocal authorizes the City of Renton to assume custodial responsibility for Tukwila's prisoners awaiting such transfers.
Additionally, Mr. McFarland noted Yakima's per diem rate is $49.00 with no booking fee and no transport fee. King
County charges a $152.00 booking fee, and $84.00 per day housing rate, Assuming a one -day stay in Renton awaiting a
transfer to Yakima, total cost to the City for a prisoner would be $74.00. A similar event using King County would cost
$236.00 per prisoner.
Clarification to Council inquiries revealed use of this agreement will be primarily for those defendants who are sentenced
immediately or previously sentenced. Chances are very slim that it will be used in cases before a defendant has been
tried and /or convicted.
City of Tukwila Page 3 of 4
City Council Committee of Whole Minutes November 26, 2001
Council consensus was to forward this item to the December 3 Regular meeting, authorizing Mayor Mullet to sign the
agreement.
d. Interlocal agreement regarding Airport Communities Coalition
John McFarland reported the proposed, amended Attachment A of the ACC Interlocal reflect additional funding
($450,000.00) from the City of Des Moines for 2001. All dedicated funds (those invoiced quarterly) are scheduled for
deposit into the ACC account on December 14, 2001. All other areas of the Interlocal Agreement remain unchanged.
Council consensus was to forward this item to the December 3 Regular meeting, authorizing Mayor Mullet to sign the
agreement.
e. Recommendation of architect for Foster Golf Links Clubhouse
Bruce Fletcher, Director, Parks and Recreation, recommended an architectural services agreement with David A. Clark
Architects, PLLC, from Kent, WA. After an extensive selection process, including the review of 20 submittals; 6
interviews and multiple site visits, the architect selection committee (Bruce Fletcher, Mayor Mullet, Marty O'Brien, Rick
Still and Tom Pulford) unanimously chose David A. Clark Architects.
Notable work projects completed by the preferred architectural firm include the current Valley Communication Center;
Renton's Maplewood Golf Course Clubhouse; Our Lady's Chapel of Reflection; and Timberland Library in Maple Valley.
Mr. Fletcher distributed a wire bound packet containing "Letter of Interest & Statement of Qualifications" dated August
22, 2001. Once an agreement has been negotiated, the proposed Scope of Work and Terms of the agreement will be
brought back for the City Council's approval.
Council consensus existed to forward this item to the December 3 Regular meeting to authorize Mayor Mullet to
negotiate a contract and scope of work with D. A. Clark Architects. Council will then review a draft agreement with
Council at their December 10 COW meeting.
f. Proposed ordinance increasing regular levy in 2002.
g. Proposed ordinance increasing property levy in 2002.
h. Update on Financial Planning Model
Alan Doerschel, Finance Director, led Council through written materials received from the King County Assessor's Office.
He noted final levy amounts will be determined and available by December 3, yet noted they may only vary slightly from
what was presented (for this meeting).
An increase in the property tax levy is a percentage increase of 1.35 percent over that used in 2001. The increase, in
addition to any amount resulting from the addition of new construction and improvements to property and any increase
in the value of state - assessed property, for 2002, is $127,597.00.
Mr. Doerschel answered inquiries of Council.
Council consensus was to forward each item to the December 3 Regular meeting for action /consideration.
9:02 p.m. Linder moved; Fenton seconded; to take a five minute recess and upon reconvening, consider reports
before handling item IV (e). The motion carried 7 -0.

Subject: L01 -037 Zoning Code amendments regarding Commercial Parking
The attached Agenda is for the City of Tukwila City Council Committee of the Whole
meeting. Staff will be briefing the City Council on the Planning Commission action as
well as City Council committee discussion.
Below is a summary of the proposed amending ordinance. If you have any questions
about the process or would like a copy of the draft ordinance, please call me at 431 -3651
or email me at mbradshaw@ci.tulcwila.wa.us.
ci.tukwila.wa.us.
1. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06)
Add this definition of "park and ride facility" that distinguishes them from mass transit
and essential public facilities.
"Park and ride facility" means a facility for temporarily parking automobiles, the
occupants of which transfer to public transit to continue their trips.
2. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06)
Delete this definition (TMC 18.06.350) that is confusing and not applicable. It is riot
listed as a permitted use anywhere in the Zoning Code and could be confusing when
evaluating use categories and permitted uses.
"Garage, public" means a building or portion thereof designed and used for the
storage, repair or servicing of motor vehicles or boats as a business.
6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206- 431 -3665
3. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06)
Add this definition of commercial parking (as a primary use) that compliments the
commercial parking tax definition (TMC 3.48.010(2)) and that describes commercial
parking operations such as park and fly lots.
"Commercial Parking" is a use of land or structure for the parking of motor vehicles
as a commercial enterprise for which hourly, daily or weekly fees are charged."
4. Amend the Zoning Code, Permitted Use Sections in the MUO, 0, RC, RCM,
TUC, C /LI, LI, HI, TVS and Manufacturing Industrial Center Zones -MIC /L
and MIC/H. (TMC 18.16, 18.18, 18.24, 18.26, 18.28 18.30 18.32, 18.34, 18.36,
18.38 and 18.40)
Delete the following permitted use and substitute the new categories as described below.
"Public parking lots or garages for private passenger cars."
5. Amend the Zoning Code Permitted Use Sections in the MUO, 0, RC, RCM,
TUC, and C /LI Zones (TMC 18.16, 18.18, 18.24, 18.26, 18.28, and 18.30.)
Add as a permitted use the following:
"Commercial parking located in structures with substantial ground floor retail or
commercial services and designed such that the pedestrian and commercial
environments are not negatively impacted by the parking use."
The Planning Commission did not have a unanimous decision. A dissenting member of
the Commission, felt that in the districts where commercial parking must be in structures,
Park and Fly lots should also be located in structures. The majority of the members
however felt that public transit is unique and that the City should support transit rather
than discourage its location by requiring structured parking. It was also noted that transit
Park and Ride lots are sometimes complimentary uses, located at places such as at
churches, and do not often require a large size for economy of scale.
6. Amend the Zoning Code Permitted Use Sections in the LI, HI, and TVS Zones
(TMC18.30, 18.32, 18.34, and 18.40.)
Add as a permitted use the following:
"Commercial Parking subject to the Off - street Parking and Loading Chapter (18.56
TMC.)"
•
7. Amend the Zoning Code Design Review Criteria Section of the Board of
Architectural Review (BAR) Chapter (18.60.050 TMC.)
There are many design issues associated with parking structures in general and in
retail /commercial service neighborhoods in particular. The Planning Commission
recommends amending the BAR chapter to include reference to design guidelines for
parking structures.
"E. The BAR shall use Parking Structure Design Guidelines for any parking
structures located in a MUO, 0, RC, RCM, TUC, or C /LI district. (See
Attachment)"

City of Tukwila
Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director
Date: November 20, 2001
To: Committee of the Whole
From: Steve Lancaster
Subject: Public Parking Lots or Garages
Memorandum
Steven M. Mullet, Mayor
Community Affairs and Parks Review
At the October 23 Community Affairs and Parks (CAP) meeting, the Committee reviewed the
Planning Commission's recommendation and asked for clarification on how off -site employee
parking would be treated and asked for a revised definition for Park and Ride facility.
The following clarification was provided on airport employee parking and CAP recommends
the following revised definition for Park and Ride.
*Off- -site Employee Parking:
There is currently confusing language in the Zoning Code regarding parking, and by
extension parking for airport employees. The recommendations of the Planning
Commission will clarify the City's position on the various types of automobile parking.
1. The Planning Commission recommends the deletion of the following permitted use
from all zones: "Public parking lots or garages for private passenger cars." No
definition exists in the Code for this ambiguous "permitted use."
2. Any parking must be accessory to a permitted, conditional or unclassified use or be an
outright permitted parking.
3. The Planning Commission recommends a new type of permitted use: "Commercial
parking," that is defined as the parking of automobiles as a commercial enterprise for a
fee.
4. The Zoning Code lists airports as an unclassified use in the TUC, C/LI, LI, HI, MIC/L
and H and TVS. The Off - street Parking Chapter (TMC 18.56) requires a minimum
number of off street parking to be provided as an accessory use in all zones according to
the primary use. (TMC 18.56.020 and 18.56.050.) Covenant or off -site parking (TMC
18.56.070) allows off -site parking to be provided on a lot other than the lot of the use to
which it is accessory subject to specific conditions.
5. Airport related employee parking would be allowed only in the above zones and subject
to approval of an unclassified use permit and the recording of a covenant to which the
City is a party.

Revised Park and Ride Definition:
"Park and Ride Facility" means a facility for temporarily parking automobiles, the
occupants of which transfer to public transit to continue their trips.
The above definition as well as the remaining recommendations of the Planning Commission
are incorporated into a draft ordinance.
Next Step
Review draft ordinance and schedule a public hearing for December 10, 2001.

Harris, Joanne Davis, Mick Torgali, Louise Strander
Tukwila Historical Society The Historical Society had written the City asking for $5,000 to
add to a $1,000 grant they received from King County. Louise explained they hoped to contract
with an archivist, and that they had to meet the standards set by the King County Cultural
Resources division, which is where they got the grant. There are various levels of archiving, and
they want to do it right this time. The material the Society has is in a variety of formats. Some of
it was saved before, but as technology changes, those previous methods of saving are old -
fashioned now. Louise said the Society is interested in reinstating the Rudy Regal scholarship at
Foster, and also in talking to the Arts Commission about running another art contest about local
history. Louise said the Historical Society has operated independently throughout its existence,
and it is a community - building group. Pam asked where the historical materials were, and
Louise said they are still at the Library, which is less than ideal, but seems to be the best site so
far. Rhonda said the intern working on archiving court records could possibly help out a little.
They talked about putting an article about the Society in the Hazelnut to let people know about
the Society, and perhaps giving a presentation at the Council. Pam said the Tukwila budget was
tight this year, but she would see if there was any additional money for the Society when the
budget was reviewed, as it seems a worthy project. Community Request.
Sign Code Amortization Extension The staff had brought this issue to committee last month,
and explained the dilemma of the court case requiring payment for enforcement of a sign
amortization program in Federal Way. Staff recommended delaying enforcement of Tukwila's
sign code amortization until the Federal Way court case appeal is decided. The Planning
Commission held a hearing on this, and no testimony was received. The committee
recommended the extension also. Recommend extension of moratorium to Council.
4_
• Public Parking Lots This is another big issue DCD has been working on. Moira had worked on
the definitions for park and ride facility and park and ride /pool facility. They worked for the
committee, which had struggled with those definitions at the last meeting. Recommend to
Council for approval.
Third Quarter Reports The committee felt they were up to date on all the goals set by their
departments, and they had no further questions. Information.

P &R Lot Definition
ollowing up on our phone conversation, here's the park and ride lot
paragraph description from Metro's Facilities Design Guidelines:
A park- and - ride /pool lot is a facility providing free parking for commuters
in suburban and lower density communities. Direct transit service between
the lot and a major activity center(s) is the fundamental component. The
primary function of a park- and - ride /pool lot is to serve a geographic draw
area as a transfer center between automobile and public transportation modes
and to accommodate other rideshare modes, such as carpools and vanpools.
Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks.

Section 18. Ordinance 1865 and Ordinance 1758, as codified at Section 18.60.050 of the
Tukwila Municipal Code, Design Review Criteria, are hereby amended to read as follows:
18.60.050 Design review criteria.
A. Generally: The BAR is authorized to request and rely upon any document,
guideline, or other consideration it deems relevant or useful to satisfy the purpose and
objectives of this chapter, specifically including but not limited to the following criteria. The
applicant shall bear the full burden of proof that the proposed development plans satisfy all of
the criteria. The BAR may modify a literal interpretation of the design review criteria if, in
their judgment such modifications better implement the Comprehensive Plan goals and
policies.
B. Commercial and Light Industrial Design Review Criteria. , The following criteria
shall be considered in all cases, except that multi- family, hotel or motel developments, outside
of the Tukwila international Boulevard corridor, shall use the multi- family, hotel and motel
design review criteria, and developments within the. MUO, NCC and RC districts of the
Tukwila International Boulevard corridor (see Figure 18 -9) shall use the Tukwila International
Boulevard design review criteria of this chapter instead:

provided.
1. Relationship of structure to site.
a. The site should be planned to accomplish a desirable transition with
streetscape and to provide for adequate landscaping and pedestrian movement.
b. Parking and service areas should be located, designed and screened to
moderate the visual impact of large paved areas.
c. The height and scale of each building should be considered in relation to the
2. Relationship of structure and site to adjoining area.
a. Harmony on texture, lines and masses is encouraged.
b. Appropriate landscape transition to adjoining properties should be

t ;
e. Compatibility of on -site vehicular —fculation with street circulation should
be encouraged.
3. Landscaping and site treatment.
a. Where existing topographic patterns contribute to beauty and utility of a
development, they should be recognized, preserved and enhanced.
b. Grades of walks, parking spaces, terraces and other paved areas should
promote safety and provide an inviting and stable appearance.
c. Landscape treatment should enhance architectural features, strengthen vistas
and important axis, and provide shade.
d. In locations where plants will be susceptible to injury by pedestrian or motor
traffic, mitigating steps should be taken.
e. Where building sites limit planting, the placement of trees or shrubs in
paved areas is encouraged.
f. Screening of service yards, and other places that tend to be unsightly, should
be accomplished by use of walls, fencing, planting or combination.
g. In areas where general planting will not prosper, other materials such as
fences, walls and pavings of wood, brick, stone or gravel may be used.
h. Exterior lighting, when used, should enhance the building design and the
adjoining landscape. Lighting standards and fixtures should be of a design and size
compatible with the building and adjacent area. Lighting should be shielded, and restrained
in design. Excessive brightness and brilliant colors should be avoided.
4. Building design.
a. Architectural style is not restricted; evaluation of a project should be based
on quality of its design and relationship to its surroundings.
b. Buildings should be to appropriate scale and in harmony with permanent
neighboring developments.
c. Building components such as windows, doors, eaves, and parapets should
have good proportions and relationship to one another. Building components and ancillary
parts shall be consistent with anticipated life of the structure.
accent.
d. Colors should be harmonious, with bright or brilliant colors used only for
e. Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on roof, ground or
buildings should be screened from view.
f. Exterior lighting should be part of the architectural concept. Fixtures,
standards, and all exposed accessories should be harmonious with building design.
g. Monotony of design in single or multiple buildings projects should be
avoided. Variety of detail, form and siting should be used to provide visual interest.
5. Miscellaneous structures and street furniture.
a. Miscellaneous structures and street furniture should be designed to be part
of the architectural concept of design and landscape. Materials should be compatible with
buildings, scale should be appropriate, colors should be in harmony with buildings and
surroundings, and proportions should be to scale.
Commercial Pkg 11 -01.dc GO,r ,,e
. �-
b. Lighting in connection with miscellaneous structures and street furniture
should meet the guidelines applicable to site, landscape and buildings.
C. Multi- Family, Hotel and Motel Design Review Criteria. In reviewing any multi-
family, hotel or motel application the following criteria shall be used by the BAR in its decision
making as well as the Multi - Family Design Manual.
1. Site planning.
a. Building siting, architecture, and landscaping shall be integrated into and
blend harmoniously with the neighborhood building scale, natural environment, and
development characteristics as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. For instance, a multi-
family development's design need not be harmoniously integrated with adjacent single family
structures if that existing single family use is designated as "Commercial" or "High Density
Residential" in the Comprehensive Plan. However, a "Low Density Residential" (detached
single family) designation would require such harmonious design integration.
b. Natural features which contribute to desirable neighborhood character shall
be preserved to the maximum extent possible. Natural features include, but are not limited to,
existing significant trees and stands of trees, wetlands, streams, and significant topographic
features.
c. The site plan shall use landscaping and building shapes to form an
aesthetically pleasing and pedestrian scale streetscape. This shall include, but not be limited to
facilitating pedestrian travel along the street, using architecture and landscaping to provide a
desirable transition from streetscape to the building, and providing an integrated linkage from
pedestrian and vehicular facilities to building entries.
d. Pedestrian and vehicular entries shall provide a high quality visual focus
using building siting, shapes, and landscaping. Such a feature establishes a physical transition
between the project and public areas, and establishes the initial sense of high quality
development.
street.
e. Vehicular circulation design shall minimize driveway intersections with the
f. Site perimeter design (i.e. landscaping, structures, and horizontal width)
shall be coordinated with site development to ensure a harmonious transition between
adjacent projects.
g. Varying degrees of privacy for the individual residents shall be provided;
increasing from the public right -of -way, to common areas, to individual residences. This can
be accomplished through the use of symbolic and actual physical barriers to define the degrees
of privacy appropriate to specific site area functions.
h. Parking and service areas shall be located, designed, and screened to
interrupt and reduce the visual impact of large paved areas;
i. The height, bulk, footprint, and scale of each building shall be in harmony
with its site and adjacent long -term structures.
2. Building design.
a. Architectural style is not restricted, evaluation of a project shall be based on the
quality of its design and its ability to harmonize building texture, shape, lines and mass with
the surrounding neighborhood'.
b. Buildings shall be of appropriate height, scale, and design /shape to be in
harmony with those existing permanent neighboring developments which are consistent with,
or envisioned in, the Comprehensive Plan. This will be especially important for perimeter
Commercial Pkg 11- O1.docGannueralal Pk; 11 01.doc
26
structures. Adjacent structures that are not in coi...,rmance with the Comprehensive Plan
should be considered to be transitional. The degree of architectural harmony required should
be consistent with the non - conforming structure's anticipated permanence.
c. Building components, such as windows, doors, eaves, parapets, stairs and decks
shall be integrated into the overall building design. Particular emphasis shall be given to
harmonious proportions of these components with those of adjacent developments. Building
components and ancillary parts shall be consistent with the anticipated life of the structure.
d. The overall color scheme shall work to reduce building prominence and shall
blend in with the natural environment.
e. Monotony of design in single or multiple building projects shall be avoided.
Variety of detail, form, and siting shall be used to provide visual interest. Otherwise
monotonous flat walls and uniform vertical planes of individual buildings shall be broken up
with building modulation, stairs, decks, railings, and focal entries. Multiple building
developments shall use siting and additional architectural variety to avoid inappropriate
repetition of building designs and appearance to surrounding properties.
3. Landscape and site treatment.
a. Existing natural topographic patterns and significant vegetation shall be
reflected in project design when they contribute to the natural beauty of the area or are
important to defining neighborhood identity or a sense of place.
b. Landscape treatment shall enhance existing natural and architectural
features, help separate public from private spaces, strengthen vistas and important views,
provide shade to moderate the affects of large paved areas, and break up visual mass.
c. Walkways, parking spaces, terraces, and other paved areas shall promote
safety and provide an inviting and stable appearance. Direct pedestrian linkages to the public
street, to on -site recreation areas, and to adjacent public recreation areas shall be provided.
d. Appropriate landscape transition to adjoining properties shall be provided.
4. Miscellaneous structures.
a. Miscellaneous structures shall be designed as an integral part of the
architectural concept and landscape. Materials shall be compatible with buildings, scale shall
be appropriate, colors shall be in harmony with buildings and surroundings, and structure
proportions shall be to scale.
b. The use of walls, fencing, planting, berms, or combinations of these shall
accomplish screening of service yards, and other places that tend to be unsightly. Screening
shall be effective in winter and summer.
c. Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on roof, ground or
buildings shall be screened from view. Screening shall be designed as an integral part of the
architecture (Le., raised parapets and fully enclosed under roof) and landscaping.
d. Exterior lighting standards and fixtures shall be of a design and size
consistent with safety, building architecture and adjacent area. Lighting shall be shielded, and
restrained in design with no off -site glare spill over. Excessive brightness and brilliant colors
shall not be used unless clearly demonstrated to be integral to building architecture.
D. Tukwila International Boulevard Design Review Criteria. In reviewing any

Tukwila Historical Society The Historical Society had written the City asking for $5,000 to i
add to a $1,000 grant they received from King County. Louise explained they hoped to contract u) p
with an archivist, and that they had to meet the standards set by the King County Cultural 2
Resources division, which is where they got the grant. There are various levels of archiving, and g
they want to do it right this time. The material the Society has is in a variety of formats. Some of u
it was saved before, but as technology changes, those previous methods of saving are old- I w
fashioned now. Louise said the Society is interested in reinstating the Rudy Regal scholarship at z '-
Foster, and also in talking to the Arts Commission about running another art contest about local z o
history. Louise said the Historical Society has operated independently throughout its existence,
and it is a community — building group. Pam asked where the historical materials were, and D 0
Louise said they are still at the Library, which is less than ideal, but seems to be the best site so p D.
far. Rhonda said the intern working on archiving court records could possibly help out a little. ° f=
They talked about putting an article about the Society in the Hazelnut to let people know about i 0
the Society, and perhaps giving a presentation at the Council. Pam said the Tukwila budget was u±. o
tight this year, but she would see if there was any additional money for the Society when the ui z
budget was reviewed, as it seems a worthy project. Community Request. o

Sign Code Amortization Extension The staff had brought this issue to committee last month, Z
and explained the dilemma of the court case requiring payment for enforcement of a sign
amortization program in Federal Way. Staff recommended delaying enforcement of Tukwila's
sign code amortization until the Federal Way court case appeal is decided. The Planning
Commission held a hearing on this, and no testimony was received. The committee
recommended the extension also. Recommend extension of moratorium to Council.
Public Parking Lots This is another big issue DCD has been working on. Moira had worked on
the definitions for park and ride facility and park and ride /pool facility. They worked for the
committee, which had struggled with those definitions at the last meeting. Recommend to
Council for approval.
Third Quarter Reports The committee felt they were up to date on all the goals set by their
departments, and they had no further questions. Information.

Ormsby and Peter Bro- Museum of Flight
1. Museum of Flight Expansion Bob Ormsby talked about the history of the Flight
Museum and some of the current and future plans. The Museum is strong on education
programs, and has supported Tukwila schools as well as other schools in education about
flight. He noted the Museum is the #4 tourist destination in the area. As a result of
education and programs offered in the past several years, the number of visitors to the
Museum is up. With plans to increase the size of the Museum, even more visitors are
anticipated. The new, expanded Museum should be ready around December, 2003.
Part of the expansion will entail building a connection between the museum on the east
side of East Marginal with a new section on the west side of that street. To expand their
buildings will involve complex land exchanges within the airport property as well as
Tukwila and Boeing. As the airport is owned by King County, this could involve both
Tukwila and King County in the redevelopment. To simplify the process, the Museum
worked with King County to allow all the permitting work to be done through Tukwila.
An interlocal agreement is needed for formalize this. The committee agreed to send this
to the next Regular Meeting in order to meet the Museum's need to start work on the
project. Recommend Interlocal Agreement to Regular Meeting.
2. CTR Interlocal Agreement Maggie explained that the interlocal agreement,
which in past years has gone through King County, will now go through the State
directly. The program has not changed, but the processing will be a little different now. In
2001, there are 26 affected employers in Tukwila, including the City as one. Each year
they do a new count of employees, so the number may change for Tukwila next year. As
this interlocal merely provides for the funding, Maggie said she would come back to the
Council when she does the individual reporting. At this time she and the committee felt
her presence at the Council meeting was unwarranted. Recommend Interlocal
Agreement to Regular Meeting.
3. Public Parking Lots and Garages Tukwila has a moratorium on new public
garages and parking lots. They had a recommendation for an ordinance to address
parking issues. These have been to the Planning Commission. The first recommendation
was a definition for `Park and Ride facility'. The committee talked about that, and
worried it could apply to places it should not. They suggested adding the word "public"
to differentiate it from business employee lots. Agreeing the definition was awkward,
they asked staff to work on it. They also wanted offsite employee parking lots to be
covered. The draft ordinance would also allow commercial parking garages in specific
zones. Reschedule.

Public Parking Lots or Garages
Memorandum
The City is operating under Ordinance 1957 that prevents the filing of development and/or
land use permits for public parking lots, park and ride lots or garages for private passenger
cars. The ordinance will expire on January 10, 2002.
The Council directed the Planning Commission to hold a hearing on Zoning Code revisions
and recommend to the Council changes that would clarify the City's regulations on park and
ride and commercial parking lots and prevent large paved parking lots in certain areas of the
City.
Steven M. Mullet, Mayor
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on August 23, 2001. There was no testimony
given on the issue. After deliberations, the Planning Commission made the following
recommendations to the City Council.
Planning Commission Recommendation
1. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06)
Add this definition of "park and ride facility" that distinguishes them from mass transit and
essential public facilities.
"Park and ride facility" is a use of land for the parking of vehicles the occupants of which
transfer to public transit such as bus or rail or into carpools."
2. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06)
Delete this definition (TMC 18.06.350) that is confusing and not applicable. It is not listed as
a permitted use anywhere in the Zoning Code and could be confusing when evaluating use
categories and permitted uses.

"Garage, public" means a building or portion thereof designed and used for the
storage, repair or servicing of motor vehicles or boats as a business.
3. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06)
Add this definition of commercial parking (as a primary use) that compliments the
commercial parking tax definition (TMC 3.48.010(2)) and that describes commercial parking :F- w

Add as a permitted use the following:
The Planning Commission did not have a unanimous decision. A dissenting member of the
Commission, felt that in the districts where commercial parking must be in structures, Park
and Fly lots should also be located in structures. The majority of the members however felt
that public transit is unique and that the City should support transit rather than discourage its
location by requiring structured parking. It was also noted that transit Park and Ride lots are
sometimes complimentary uses, located at places such as at churches, and do not often require
a large size for economy of scale.
6. Amend the Zoning Code Permitted Use Sections in the LI, HI, and TVS Zones
(TMC18.30, 18.32, 18.34, and 18.40.)
Add as a permitted use the following:
"Commercial Parking subject to the Off -street Parking and Loading Chapter (18.56
TMC.)"

7. Amend the Zoning Code Design Review Criteria Section of the Board of
Architectural Review (BAR) Chapter (18.60.050 TMC.)
There are many design issues associated with parking structures in general and in
retail/commercial service neighborhoods in particular. The Planning Commission
recommends amending the BAR chapter to include reference to design guidelines for parking
structures.
"E. The BAR shall use Parking Structure Design Guidelines for any parking structures
located in a MUO, 0, RC, RCM, TUC, or C/LI district. (See Attachment)"
Next Step
Forward a recommendation to the November 13, 2001 COW for deliberation, schedule a
public hearing for December 3, 2001 and adopt code amendments prior to moratorium
ordinance expiration on January 10, 2002.

THIS NOTICE IT IS DUE TO THE QUALITY OF THE DOCUMENT.
To: Tukwila Planning Commission
From: Moira Carr Bradshaw
Date: September 21, 2001
Subject: Addendum to Staff Report
Background
The Planning Commission public hearing was held on August 23, 2001 and no testimony was
given on this issue.
The Planning Commission then deliberated and reached consensus on the following:
• Modify the recommended definition of park and ride facility by deleting the word
"temporary;"
• Modify the recommended definition of commercial parking by deleting the word "storage;"
• Modify the MUO, 0, RC, RCM, TUC and C/LI to allow commercial parking in structures;
• Modify the LI, HI, TVS zones to allow commercial parking (on surface lots;) and
• Modify the MIC, NCC, and RCC to not allow public (commercial) parking.
Concerned about the distinction between commercial parking that operates on a short term basis
for customers with automobiles to park versus parking /storage of vehicles for a business, the
Planning Commission requested staff to draft a definition for "commercial storage."
Proposed Changes
City of Tukwila
1. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06)
Steven M. Mullet, Mayor
Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director
Add this definition of "park and ride facility" that distinguishes them from mass transit and
essential public facilities.
"Park and ride facility" is a use of land for the parking of vehicles the occupants of which
transfer to public transit such as bus or rail or into carpools.

Staff Report to the Planning Commission
2. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06)
3. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06)
Delete this definition that is confusing and not applicable.
L01 -v.)7 Commercial Parking Lots
Add this definition of primary use parking that compliments the commercial parking tax
definition (TMC 3.48.010(2)) and that describes commercial parking operation such as park and
fly lots.
"Commercial Parking" is a use of land or structure for the parking of motor vehicles as a
commercial enterprise for which a fee is charged.
Off -site storage of vehicles that is not a commercial enterprise will be considered "storage
(outdoor) of materials..." and will be limited to the Manufacturing Industrial Center, the Heavy
Industrial district and as a conditional use in the TVS.
"Garage, public" means a building or portion thereof designed and used for the storage,
repair or servicing of motor vehicles or boats as a businc3a.
Public garage is listed in the Definitions chapter but not listed as a permitted use anywhere in the
Zoning Code and could be confusing when evaluating use categories and permitted uses.
Auto repair is listed in the Zoning Code as a permitted use as follows: "Automotive services, gas,
washing body and engine repair shops (enclosed within a building)." It is a permitted use in the
NCC and all zones more intensive. Boat repair would be allowed under a different permitted use,
see below.
4. Provide a definition of outside storage
The Planning Commission requested a definition of outdoor storage. The discussion revolved
around the issues associated with long -term parking and storage of RVs, boats, as well as
businesses that would have fleets of company vehicles.
There are two issues raised. How to differentiate between long term vehicle (including RV and
boat) storage, which is presumable less convenient location wise and less expensive versus
shorter term parking which is more expensive and typically serves users of nearby businesses.
The second issue is storage of vehicles for businesses, that is, for vehicles owned by the business
versus individuals.

Staff Report to the Planning Commission L01 - u37 Commercial Parking Lots
A. Option One
Staff reviewed the existing code and found the following relevant sections.
The following permitted use is allowed in the C /LI, LI, HI, MIC /L, MIC /H, and conditional in
TVS.
B. Option Two
"Manufacturing, processing and /or packaging of electrical or mechanical equipment,
vehicles and machines including, but not limited to heavy and light machinery, tools,
airplanes, boats or other transportation vehicles and equipment," (emphasis added)
In addition, there is the following permitted use that is allowed in the above zones:
"Storage (outdoor) of materials allowed to be manufactured or handled within facilities
conforming to uses under this chapter and screened pursuant to Chapter 18.52."
Assuming the C /LI, LI, HI, and the MIC districts are where the Planning Commission would like
to see outside storage of vehicles, staff believes the existing regulation address the issues raised
by the Planning Commission.
Another option for the Planning Commission to consider is the following.
Storage lots versus parking lots will likely charge fees by the month versus hourly, daily or
weekly. The definition of Commercial Parking could be modified to specify the type of fees
collected for the majority of their customers. A quick telephone survey found a significant
difference in rates for the month. An airport park and fly lot charges $152.00 a month whereas
the rates for "storage" businesses were $90.00, $75.00, and $35.00 a month. (It pays to shop
around!) None of the storage businesses had weekly or daily rates.
"Commercial Parking" is a use of land or structure for the parking of motor vehicles as a
commercial enterprise for which an hourly, daily and weekly fee is charged.
5. Amend the Zoning Code, Permitted Use Sections in the MUO, 0, RC, RCM, and TUC,
and C/LI, LI, HI, TVS and Manufacturing Industrial Center Zones -MIC /L and
MIC/H. (TMC 18.16, 18.18, 18.24, 18.26, 18.28 18.30 18.32, 18.34, 18.36, 18.38 and
18.40)
Delete the following permitted use and substitute new use as described in 6 and 7.
"Public parking lots or garages for private passenger cars."
Page 3 of 4
Staff Report to the Planning Commission LO1 -U37 Commercial Parking Lots
6. Amend the Zoning Code Permitted Use Sections in the MUO, 0, RC, RCM, TUC, and
C/LI Zones (TMC 18.16, 18.18, 18.24, 18.26, 18.28, and 18.30.)
Add as a permitted use the following:
"Commercial parking located in structures with substantial ground floor retail or
commercial services and designed such that the pedestrian and commercial environments
are not negatively impacted by the parking use."
7. Amend the Zoning Code Permitted Use Sections in the C /LI, LI, HI, and TVS Zones t
(TMC18.30, 18.32, 18.34, and 18.40)
Add as a permitted use the following:
Commercial Parking subject to the Off - street Parking and Loading Chapter (18.56 TMC)
8. Amend the Zoning Code Design Review Criteria Section of the Board of Architectural
Review Chapter (18.60.050 TMC)
There are many design issues associated with parking structures in general and in
retail/commercial service neighborhoods in particular. The Planning Commission may wish to
adopt specific design guidelines associated with parking garages for the Board of Architectural
Review.
E. The BAR shall use Parking Structure Design Guidelines for any parking structures
located in a MUO, 0, RC, RCM, TUC, or C /LI district. (See Attachment)

Staff Report to the Planning Commission L01 -0:3, commercial Parking Lots
Background
The City Council adopted in July 2000, an emergency moratorium on the "filing of development
permits and approvals relating to public parking lots, park and ride lots or garages for parking
cars" (Attachment B). The moratorium was adopted based upon the possibility of the Port of
Seattle locating an employee parking lot along International BL. The location of large paved
parking areas along the Boulevard raised concerns about the appropriateness of that use in that
and other locations in the City.
At the public hearings held to consider the moratorium, the City Council heard from two people.
A Port of Seattle representative spoke of the desire to foster positive working relationships with
adjacent cities on Port projects. Doug Steinberg of Douglas Printing, 14818 Tukwila
International BL, said that he had plans to use the site adjacent to his business for a park and fly
lot. (Attachment F)
Staff prepared the following analysis to assist in a review of the issues.
Parking of automobiles can be divided into two main use groups:
1. Parking as an accessory use' — whether it's for a residence or a business. The parking is there
because the business or residents want to provide on -site paved area for cars as a
courtesy /necessity for visitors, customers, employees, or owners.
2. Parking as a primary use — where the need to temporarily store cars is not directly related to a
separate primary use of the site. There may or may not be a fee charged to use the parking
space. This type of parking as a primary use can provide a service for businesses within
walking distance or for some distant use. Examples include: park and ride lots associated
with public transit; park and fly lots associated with air travel; remote customer or employee
parking lots.
Parking as a primary use provides:
❖ riders for a transit system (Park and Ride Lots)
❖ publicly subsidized parking spaces for commercial centers
❖ auto trip reduction into congested areas such as urban centers, airports, etc.
❖ dispersal of automobile parking to sites outside of congested areas
❖ an economic use of land
❖ potentially less auto trips among neighboring sites
❖ revenues for local government (State authorized commercial parking tax)
Parking lots that are a primary use, support (in addition to the rent to the owner) uses that are
typically outside the City limits, whether it's the airport, a transit system, downtown Seattle
employers or businesses. They can also reduce vehicle congestion in these areas. They
sometimes are considered an interim use of land that allow an economic return (without
significant capital) if or until something that provides more return and requires a higher
investment in property improvements.
1 Parking can also be considered a secondary use in situations where there is a primary use, such as a
hotel, and an incidental or subordinate use, such as a park and fly.
Page 2 of 7
Staff Report to the Planning Coup mission L01 -0c,. Commercial Parking Lots
Issues
Why regulate the location of primary use parking lots?
The City has a critical transportation location. From Tukwila you may easily take a shuttle to the
airport or a bus to downtown Seattle, where weekday parking costs are high. This demand will
likely grow.
Primary use parking is typically on a surface lot and does not have buildings of any significance.
In Tukwila, because businesses are still required to provide accessory parking for customers,
primary use parking lots are not important for the business area in which they are located. They
do not usually provide commerce for the surrounding businesses unless the businesses are
perhaps also auto oriented such as gas stations, detailing, auto repair, etc. In fact, it can damage
the character of a retail district, creating pedestrian "dead zones" and adversely affecting the
mutual benefits that businesses generally receive by clustering close to one another.
What role does Sea -Tac Airport have in the commercial parking market?
The Port of Seattle is forecasting growth in the number of employees at the airport as well as
passengers. They have a parking stall standard of one stall for every 2.5 employees. The increase
in the number of employees as well as travelers will require the Port to continue to expand the
supply of parking spaces. There will also continue to be a demand for off -site airport parking
such as Ajax and Quik -Park. A technical report prepared for the Port of Seattle regarding airport
parking discusses the success of regional park and fly facilities that are located more than ten
miles from the airport and that use express buses on HOV lanes to connect people to the airport.
However, implementation of this type of transportation mode has not occurred.
The City receives no fees or taxes on airport employee parking, which is free of charge to
employees, although the City would receive economic benefit from Port owned public passenger
parking through the City's commercial parking tax and/or the state leasehold tax. City businesses
gain a possible secondary benefit from employee trips before and after work to adjacent
businesses.
Why are Park and Ride Lots a part of this discussion?
Park and ride lots are similar in character to primary parking lots; however, operationally they
may differ. Similarly, they both tend to be dominated by large paved areas (although size is not
considered in the City's code,) people arrive and depart by car, and the site generates shuttle or
bus trips. With Park and Ride lots however, operating hours more likely coincide with peak
traffic periods and overflow parking in the adjacent neighborhoods will potentially occur.
There appears to be clear Comprehensive Plan support for local /regional public transit facilities
to encourage multi -modal use. (Attachment C) City regulations require a conditional use permit
for a park and ride lot while no special approval is required for commercial parking lots in the
same zoning districts. (Attachment D) Park and ride lots, which are listed as a use allowed
conditionally within the City, are not defined and could meet the definition of a mass transit
facility or an essential public facility, which are unclassified uses throughout all zones. In order
to clarify the issue, a definition is proposed for park and ride lots to distinguish them from mass
transit or essential use facilities.
Page 3 of 7
Staff Report to the Planning Commission L01 -03, Commercial Parking Lots
What are the options for Commercial Parking Lots?
Where the City hopes to create pedestrian oriented retail areas and or mixed use residential
environments, primary use /commercial parking should be carefully reviewed.
The City's Zoning Code currently allows commercial parking in all commercial and industrial
zones (Attachment E - Zone Legend) other than "pedestrian friendly" districts, which are NCC z
and RCC. The areas that are most likely markets for this use are in the following zones.
J U
Regional Commercial Zone 0 o
There are two regional commercial districts in the City located along Tukwila International ai w
Boulevard. The two districts stretch from S. 160 St. to S. 148 St. and from S. 141 to S. 138 St.
and are one to two lots deep on each side of the Boulevard. Market forces want to locate p
commercial parking lots along Tukwila International Bl. There is currently one park and fly and
a second under construction. Both are located in the Tukwila International Bl corridor within the Q
City of Tukwila. Additional lots are located south in the City of SeaTac. There are also a number
of secondary use parks and fly operations in this corridor. I W
z=
Adopted policies discuss allowing a range of uses including light industrial while also providing z O
direction on overall district character, visual interest and pedestrian amenities. There is no clear w
policy direction regarding disallowing primary use parking lots in the Regional Commercial o
(RC) zone. Existing Comprehensive Plan Policy 8.2.1 (Attachment C) however does relate the p 92
need to pay special attention to transportation related development and therefore the need to w w
carefully site and design the transportation related uses. v
Tukwila Urban Center w z
The goal of the urban center is to encourage a natural and built environment that is attractive, U
functional and distinctive and supports a range of uses that promotes business, shopping, p (—
recreation, entertainment and mixed use residential. Parking policy specifically discusses Z
ensuring the availability of parking for visitors, businesses and employees. The policy does not
discuss supplying parking for areas outside the City. Policy 10.2.3 (Attachment C) addresses the
need to have site guidelines that result in a high quality environment.
Manufacturing Industrial Center (MIC)
The concept of the manufacturing industrial center is to preserve land at prices that allow its use
for traditional manufacturing jobs, which pay a livable wage. Adopted goals and policies suggest
that commercial parking should not be allowed in the MIC. (Attachment C)
City Council Review
The City Council reviewed the above material and requests the Planning Commission consider
the following plan and code changes. Attached are the minutes from their meeting when this
issue was discussed. (Attachment F)

Staff Report to the Planning Commission L01 -031 Commercial Parking Lots
Proposed Changes
1. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06)
Add this definition of "park and ride facility" that distinguishes them from mass transit and
essential public facilities.
"Park and ride facility" is a use of land for the temporary parking of vehicles the
occupants of which transfer to public transit such as bus or rail or into carpools.
2. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06)
Add this definition of primary use parking that compliments the commercial parking tax
definition (TMC 3.48.010(2)) and that describes any commercial parking operation such as park
and fly lots.
"Commercial Parking" is a use of land or structure for the parking or storage of motor
vehicles as a commercial enterprise for which a fee is charged.
Off -site storage of vehicles that is not a commercial enterprise will be considered "storage
(outdoor) of materials..." and will be limited to the Manufacturing Industrial Center, the Heavy
Industrial district and as a conditional use in the TVS.
3. Amend the Zoning Code, Definitions Chapter (TMC 18.06)
Delete this definition that is confusing and not applicable.
"Caragc, public" means a building or portion thereof designed and used for the storage,
repair or servicing of motor vehicles or boats as a businesa.
Public garage is listed in the Definitions chapter but not listed as a permitted use anywhere in the
Zoning Code and could be confusing when evaluating use categories and permitted uses.
Auto repair is listed in the Zoning Code as a permitted use as follows: "Automotive services, gas,
washing body and engine repair shops (enclosed within a building)." It is a permitted use in the
NCC and all zones more intensive. Boat repair would fall under the following permitted use
category: "Manufacturing, processing and /or packaging of electrical or mechanical equipment,
vehicles and machines including, but not limited to heavy and light machinery, tools, airplanes,
boats or other transportation vehicles and equipment," which is a permitted use in C /LI through
MIC/H and conditional in TVS.
Auto repair, boat and RV repairs do not need to be defined as the uses are self - explanatory.
4. Amend the Zoning Code, Permitted Use Sections in the Manufacturing Industrial
Center Zones -MIC /L and MIC /H. (TMC 18.36 and 18.38)
Delete from the Permitted Use Section of the MIC /L and MIC /H zones respectively the
following permitted use.
28. Public parking lots or garages for private passenger cars.
30. Public parking lots or garages for private passenger cars.
Page 5 of 7

tion is confusing. ~ Z
This use description confusing. Does "public parking" refer to municipally provided parking or
parking available to the public? Does private passenger car imply that the garage is only 6 v
available to private individuals and not the general public? The proposed definitions for "park 0 0
and ride facility" and "commercial parking" are intended to replace this definition. The new term ai w
will be "commercial parking" as defined above under (2.) I
LL
6. Amend the Zoning Code Permitted Use Sections in the MUO, 0, RC, RCM and TUC 2
Zones (TMC 18.16, 18.18, 18.24, 18.26, 18.28) ga

Uc°
Commercial parking can negatively impact the quality of the streetscapes and pedestrian retail 0 E
areas along Tukwila International Boulevard and within the Tukwila Urban Center. Typically a z
new use that requires no new building or Public Works permit would not be required to meet the
Zoning Code standards for landscaping or design review. Compliance with the City's Landscape
Chapter is required when a development is required to go through design review. Design review
is triggered by "development," which is defined in the Zoning Code as:
"Development" means the construction, reconstruction, conversion, structural alteration,
relocation or enlargement of any structure that requires a building permit. (TMC 18.06.210)
A commercial parking business may not meet the definition of development if they can operate
with existing buildings or if they can operate without a building. Hence the need to require
compliance with the Landscaping and Parking Regulations Chapters of the Zoning Code.
7. Amend the Zoning Code Permitted Use Sections in the C /LI, LI, HI, and TVS Zones
(TMC18.30 18.32, 18.34, and 18.40)
Add as a permitted use the following:

Staff Report to the Planning Coilimission L01 -0b, Commercial Parking Lots
Conclusion
1. The proposed changes are compatible with the goals and better implement the policies of the
City's Comprehensive Plan.
2. The Zoning Code's lack of direction on commercial parking lots could harm the City's plans
for its commercial retail and service areas.
3. There is duplication in the code regarding the regulation of park and ride lots and garages for
public parking that cause confusion when administering the Code and interpreting its
permitted, conditional and unclassified uses.
4. The proposed changes will provide clarity and protection for the City's commercial districts.
They will also spell out parking for public park and ride lots as opposed to mass transit or
essential public facilities.
Recommendation
Hold a public hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council on the proposed changes.

lots or garages for private passenger cars. The ordinance will expire on July 10, 2001.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, RENEWING A SIX -MONTH MORATORIUM ON
FILING OF DEVELOPMENT PERMITS AND APPROVALS RELATING
TO PUBLIC PARKING LOTS, PARK AND RIDE LOTS OR GARAGES
FOR PARKING CARS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND
ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila has adopted a Comprehensive Plan in compliance with the Growth
Management Act; and
WHEREAS, the City has adopted a Zoning Code consistent with that Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City has adopted development regulations consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and in accordance with the Growth Management Act; and
WHEREAS, there are land use districts in the City of Tukwila in which public parking lots or garages
for private passenger cars are permitted as a primary use; and
WHEREAS, public parking lots or garages for private passenger cars are a permitted use in districts in
which the City seeks to preserve industrial lands (such as the "Manufacturing /Industrial Center" or "MIC"
zones); and
WHEREAS, public parking lots or garages for private passenger cars are a permitted use in districts in
which the City seeks to encourage urban uses and reduce reliance on automobiles (such as the "Regional
Commercial" or "RC" zone and the "Neighborhood Commercial Center" or "NCC" zone); and
WHEREAS, the City's Comprehensive Plan does not anticipate the development of large scale parking
lots or garages, particularly in those areas intended for commercial redevelopment or areas where the
preservation of industrial lands is sought; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to ensure that the zoning and location of such public parking lots or
garage uses is consistent with its policies and purposes embodied in its Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code
and development regulations; and
WHEREAS, public parking lots or garages have the potential to generate very significant traffic
volumes; and
WHEREAS, the current Transportation Element does not anticipate the development of large public
parking lots or garages; and
WHEREAS, the City also desires to ensure public input on these issues; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to preserve the status quo for the protection of the health, safety and
welfare of City residents, as it relates to development in Tukwila, until these matters are more fully
considered;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON,

Mrt -pkg -2nd ext 6 -01
•
aion 2. Moratorium Renewed. The morato -4 ' established by Ordinance No. 1921 is hereby
renewed, upon the filing of development permits and approvals relating to public parking lots, park- and -ride
lots or garages for private passenger cars. For the purposes of this ordinance, the term "public parking lots or
garages for private passenger cars" means any area or structure devoted or intended to be used principally for
the parking or storage of motor vehicles, which parking Ls not directly associated with and incidental to
another lawful use on the same or immediately adjacent lot or parcel. "Development permits and approvals"
shall include, but are not limited to, Conditional and /or Unclassified Use Permits, any required
environmental reviews, subdivision approvals, short subdivision approvals, site plan review approvals,
approvals for any and all rezones, approvals for any and all building permits for development activity resulting

land altering permits or any other required permits or approvals. No such new applications shall be accepted
during the effective period of this moratorium; provided, however, that this moratorium shall not affect
vested rights, if any, applicable to any such previously submitted and fully completed applications.

0064 and L2000.033) is excepted from this ordinance. This exception is due to the fact that "Quik Park" has
obtained City Council approval of a street vacation and realignment, has submitted complete development
permit applications prior to the effective date of the moratorium and has invested considerable capital toward
the proposed project.
Section 4. Effective Period of Moratorium. The moratorium established by this ordinance shall
become effective as set forth in Section 8 below, and shall continue in effect for six months thereafter unless
repealed, renewed or modified by the City Council after a subsequent public hearing and entry of findings of
fact.

Section 7. Severability. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this
ordinance or its application to any person or situation should be held to be invalid or unconstitutional for
any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the
validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance or its application to any other
person or situation.
Section 8. Effective Date. This ordinance or a summary thereof shall be published in the official
newspaper of the City and shall take effect and be in full force and effect on , 2001.

CALL TO ORDER/PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE:
Council President Joan Hernandez called the meeting to order at 7:04 p.m.; and led the audience in the

OFFICIALS:
Mayor Steve Mullet; City Administrator John McFarland; Deputy City Clerk Bob Baker; Council
Analyst Lucy Lauterbach; and Associate Planner Moira Bradshaw
CITIZEN COMMENT /CORRESPONDENCE:
Gary Malcom 10144 Rainer Ave., So.. Seattle, on behalf of the Silver Dollar Casino, presented the
businesses preferred alternative to existing trees in front of the business. An alternative is sought as trees
obstruct the view of reader boards and signage.
The proposal suggests replacement of trees with park benches and fine art sculptures. The business
readily volunteers to incur all expenses for benches and art work; and has volunteered to work with City
staff and/or Arts Commission to determine appropriate artwork and design of the area.
Mr. Malcom views the idea as a win -win situation. It's good for their business (no blockage of signs)
and good for providing a "human" element to the area and would be inviting to the public.
Ms. Linder suggested, Council concurred, the issue be forwarded to the Community Affairs & Parks
Committee agenda two weeks hence.
SPECIAL ISSUES:
Parking Moratorium — Recommended Code Changes
Moira Bradshaw, Associate Planner, informed Council this issue has been reviewed and discussed at the
Community Affairs & Parks Committee on April 10. That committee concurred with staff
recommendations and agreed to forward them to COW for consideration.

Minutes, 5/14/01 Page 2 of 3
On July 17, 2000, Council adopted an ordinance to impose a moratorium on the filing of development
and/or land use permits for public parking lots, park and ride lots or garages for private passenger cars.
Said ordinance expires on July 10, 2001.
In order to mitigate negative impacts of new parking lots adjacent to Tukwila International Boulevard
(hereinafter referred to as TIB), in the RC districts and in the Tukwila Urban Center, City recommends
providing definitions for "park and ride lots" that distinguish them from mass transit and essential public
facilities; and "parking as a primary use" that compliments the commercial parking tax definition. Next, w
staff recommends deleting Commercial Parking as a permitted use in the MIC zones; creating a policy cG 2
that articulates the City's desire to minimize the negative impacts of commercial parking lots on the v
character of the TIB corridor; and, finally, developing new regulations to ensure a high quality 0
streetscape along TIB and within the Tukwila Urban Center by regulating "parking as a primary use." w w
Primary use parking should be located behind a building or building pad with screening and/or in -
structures with substantial ground floor retail. w 0
w
A map provided to Council outlines areas where stand -alone parking lots are allowed within the City. g Q
This is parking that could be used for park and ride or park and fly lots. The City has no stand alone lots
in downtown as businesses are required to maintain parking lots /places for customers. 1 W
z
The main issue at hand is park and fly lots. Park and ride lots are similar to stand alone lots and are z 0
allowed as a conditional use in commercial and industrial zones. w
The Comprehensive Plan and relevant definitions have been reviewed by staff who has found policy 0
statements which support the eliminates stand alone parking lots as a permitted use in MIC. Staff also
found clear policy language which would allow the elimination of stand alone lots in urban center. i v
Conversely, policy language for TIB is not as clear. Staff suggests, if Council agrees, a plan to provide w z
for more direction on how to handle stand alone lots in affected zones on TIB. d
O
0
The next step is for Council to forward these recommendations to the City's Planning Commission, Z
where they review suggestions and send the items back to Council for final approval.
Mr. Haggerton voiced concern over the possibility of legal loopholes when developing area by area
instead of an all - inclusive, general plan for parking. He asked if this method was originally an oversight.
Ms. Bradshaw noted it was not so much of an oversight as it is a refinement to larger parking lots. There
is a growing demand in Tukwila in light of SeaTac Airport growth and expansion.
Ms. Bradshaw informed Council that staff believes this to be of an emergent nature. That being the case,
the City may (within 6 months) make modifications to the Comprehensive Plan. At that,
Councilmember Fenton suggested Mr. Haggerton has a good idea for "umbrella coverage" versus a
neighborhood by neighborhood approach. He suggested that without reinventing the wheel, City staff
could make the overall program work better if they took the umbrella coverage approach.
Council concurred they are opposed to stand alone parking. Ms. Bradshaw stated park and ride lots are
allowable now as a conditional use. Park and fly lots are stand -alone lots and thus, not allowable in
commercial zones and are not a permitted use.
Doug Steinberg, Doug's Printing, TIB, spoke out of concern of not being able to use the extra lot he
bought next to his building as a parking lot. Individuals have approached him and encouraged him to
open a park and fly lot. In addition to selling the lot, he has also considered it for that use as retirement

income. Mr. Steinberg also hoped to bring additional retail dollars into the area by allowing use of the
lot and having customers visiting nearby establishments.
Gary Malcom, on behalf of Silver Dollar Casino, noted the Silver Dollar's desire to perhaps build a
hotel; thus resulting in the need for additional parking. He asked if this portion of the discussion would
affect his business. Council responded in the negative.
Council then considered each staff recommendation individually and Council voiced their preferences.
Mr. Duffie is not in favor of park and fly lots.
Page 3 of 3
Ms. Carter noted park and ride lots would be ok; yet she'd rather not see park and fly lots. They may,
however, be alright if there were ground floor retail space available; allowing for foot traffic on the
street.
Mr. Haggerton noted he would entertain the notion of structured parking; but not flat parking and not
park and fly options.
Ms. Linder spoke in favor of a review of structured parking; but is opposed to its facing TIB. She does
like the idea of first floor retail.
Mr. Fenton is not in favor of mass ground parking; yet is in favor of structured parking and likes the idea
of first floor retail options.
Mr. Simpson concurred with those statements of Councilmember Fenton.
Ms. Hernandez is not in favor of stand -alone parking; yet would consider structured parking.
Moira Bradshaw asked Council if they would entertain the notion of having retail in front (facing TIB),
with parking in the rear. Overall Council consensus showed the idea is worth investigating.
Ms. Hernandez noted these items will be forwarded to the Planning Commission for consideration.
Understanding Council's desires, Ms. Bradshaw noted a public hearing will be held in June or July by
the Planning Commission. The items would then be remanded to the full Council in September or
October, 2001 for adoption.
In the meantime, a public hearing will need to be set to extend the moratorium, allowing staff and the
Planning Commission the time necessary to achieve their goals. The ordinance is in effect until July 10,
2001.

Memorandum
Subject: Moratorium Extension on Commercial Parking Lots and Garages and
Transmittal to Planning Commission for Hearing and Recommendation
Background
On July 17, 2000, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1921, establishing a moratorium
on the filing of development and/or land use permits for public parking lots, park and'ride
lots or garages for private passenger cars.
Issue
Attached is an evaluation of the policy and regulatory options to consider on this issue.
Staff recommends several areas of modification to the City's Zoning Code that will
create greater consistency between policy and regulations for park and ride lots and for
commercial parking in the Manufacturing Industrial Center. In order to mitigate the
negative impact of new parking lots locating adjacent to Tukwila International Boulevard
in the RC districts and in the Tukwila Urban Center, staff recommends that the City
create policy language and modify the Zoning Code to regulate the location and design of
commercial parking.
Community Affairs and Parks discussed this issue at their meeting on 10 April 2001 and
concurred with the recommendations in the attached issue paper.

1. Proposed Zoning Amendments. Nora Gierloff, Associate Planner, and
Chief Olives provided information related to an earlier discussion of various
amendments to the Zoning Code. Specifically, the Committee asked for
clarification and further review of the proposed changes in Standards for
Turnarounds in the Subdivision Code. It was explained that the proposed
requirements would remove any confusion over Fire Department
requirements and the Code. The amended standards would allow for a
cul -de -sac turn - around standard of 92 feet diameter right -of -way- and an 81
foot paved diameter. Chief Olives offered that the requirement would
accommodate the turning radius of the City's fire engines, but not the ladder
truck. He stated the Department supports the proposed changes.
Forward to COW
2. Extension of Moratorium on Commercial Parking Lots and Garages..
Steve Lancaster explained the need to extend the existing moratorium on
stand -alone parking facilities, such as Park- and -fly lots. He also described
the staff's proposal for appropriate development regulations pertaining to
these facilities. These include: providing clearer definitions for the types of
parking facilities; eliminating stand -alone parking facilities from the M.I.C.
area; adopting appropriate Comprehensive Plan policies; and adopting
development regulations that require stand -alone parking to be in structures
or located away form street frontage. The Committee voiced general
agreement with the approach.
Forward to COW,
3. Ball Janik Contract Amendment (Extension) John McFarland explained
the amendments to the existing contract. He distributed a revised draft that
referred to the objective of light rail service to the Urban Center, rather than
the E3 alignment. The Committee voiced their support for the scope of
work. John advised that the compensation arrangement ($15,000 per
month) would remain in place for the present time, and especially in light of
the resumption of activity in Washington D.C. and locally in the past few
weeks. If that level of activity diminishes, the compensation clause will be
re- negotiated.

Issue Paper
Parking of automobiles can be divided into two main use groups:
1. Parking as an accessory use' — whether it's for a residence or a business. The parking is
there because the business or residents want to provide on -site paved area for cars as a
courtesy /necessity for visitors, customers, employees, or owners.
2. Parking as a primary use — where the need to temporarily store cars is not directly related
to a separate primary use of the site. There may or may not be a fee charged to use the
parking space. This type of parking as a primary use can provide a service for businesses
within walking distance or for some distant use. Examples indude: park and ride lots
associated with public transit; park and fly lots associated with air travel; remote
customer or employee parking lots.
Parking as a primary use provides:
• riders for a transit system (Park and Ride Lots)
• publicly subsidized parking spaces for commercial centers
❖ auto trip reduction into congested areas such as urban centers, airports, etc.
❖ dispersal of automobile parking to sites outside of congested areas
❖ an economic use of land
❖ potentially less auto trips among neighboring sites
• revenues for local government (State authorized commercial parking tax)
Parking lots that are a primary use, support (in addition to the rent to the owner) uses that
are typically outside the City limits, whether it's the airport, a transit system, downtown
Seattle employers or businesses. They can also reduce vehide congestion in these areas.
They sometimes are considered an interim use of land that allow an economic return
(without significant capital) if or until something that provides more return and requires a
higher investment in property improvements.
Why regulate the location of primary use parking lots?
The City has a critical transportation location. From Tukwila you may easily park your car
and take a shuttle to the airport or a bus to downtown Seattle, where weekday parking costs
are high. This demand will likely grow.
Primary use parking is typically on a surface lot and does not have buildings of any
significance. In Tukwila, because businesses are still required to provide accessory parking
for customers, primary use parking lots are not important for the business area in which they
are located. They do not usually provide commerce for the surrounding businesses unless
the businesses are perhaps also auto oriented such as gas stations, detailing, auto repair, etc.
In fact, they can destroy the ambiance of a retail district, creating pedestrian "dead zones"
' Parking can also be considered a secondary use in situations where there is a primary use, such
as a hotel, and an incidental or subordinate use, such as a park and fly.
and adversely affecting the mutual benefits that businesses generally receive by clustering
close to one another.
Sea -Tac Airport
The Port of Seattle is forecasting growth in the number of employees at the airport as well as
passengers. They have a parking stall standard of one stall for every 2.5 employees. The
increase in the number of employees as well as travelers will require the Port to continue to
expand the supply of parking spaces. There will also continue to be a demand for off -site
airport parking such as Ajax and Quik -Park. A technical report prepared for the Port of
Seattle regarding airport parking discusses the success of regional park and fly facilities that
are located more than ten miles from the airport and that use express buses on HOV lanes
to connect people to the airport. However, staff is unaware of any efforts to implement this
type of transportation demand approach.
The City receives no fees or taxes on free airport employee parking although the City would
receive economic benefit from Port owned public passenger parking through its commercial
parking tax and/or the state leasehold tax. City businesses gain a possible secondary benefit
from employee trips before and after work to adjacent businesses.
Why are Park and Ride Lots a part of this discussion?
Park and ride lots are very similar to primary parking lots. They tend to be large (although
size is not considered in the City's code,) people arrive and depart by car, and the site
generates shuttle or bus trips. During the review of commercial parking lots, contradictory
policy and regulations were noted.
There appears to be dear policy support for local/regional public transit facilities to
encourage multi-modal use. However City regulations contradict policy by requiring a
conditional use permit for a park and ride lot when no special approval is required for
commercial parking lots in the same zoning districts. In addition, park and ride lots, which
are listed as a use allowed conditionally within the City, are not defined and could meet the
definition of a mass transit facility or an essential public facility, which are unclassified uses
throughout all zones.
What is the policy option for Commercial Parking Lots?
The City's Zoning Code currently allows commercial parking in all commercial and industrial
zones other than "pedestrian friendly" districts, which are NCC and RCC. (See Zone Legend
and Zoning Map) Primary use parking should be disallowed anywhere the City hopes to
create a pedestrian oriented retail and or residential environment.
Regional Commercial Zone
Market forces want to locate commercial parking lots along Tukwila International Bl. There
is currently one park and fly and another entitled park and fly located in the Tukwila
International Bl corridor within the City of Tukwila, additional lots are located south in the
City of SeaTac. There are also a number of secondary use park and flies in this corridor.
Page 2 of 3
There is no clear policy direction regarding disallowing primary use parking lots in the two
Regional Commercial (RC) districts along Tukwila International Bl. Adopted policies
discuss allowing a range of uses including light industrial while also providing direction on
overall district character, visual interest and pedestrian amenities.
The RC zone is located only along Tukwila International BL, therefore its purpose could be
modified to more dearly articulate the City's desire to disallow large paved parking areas that
are not associated with a use or that are visible from the street.

policy does not discuss supplying parking for areas outside the City.

1, Pr000sed Zonina Amendments. Nora Gierloff, Associate Planner, and
Chief Olivas provided information related to an earlier discussion of various
amendments to the Zoning Code. Specifically, the Committee asked for
clarification and further review of the proposed changes in Standards for
Turnarounds in the Subdivision Code. It was explained that the proposed
requirements would remove any confusion over Fire Department
requirements and the Code. The amended standards would allow for a
cul -de -sac turn - around standard of 92 feet diameter right -of -way- and an 81
foot paved diameter. Chief Olives offered that the requirement would
accommodate the turning radius of the City's fire engines, but not the ladder
truck. He stated the Department supports the proposed changes.

.2. Extension of Moratorium on Commercial Parking Lots and Garages,.
Steve Lancaster explained the need to extend the existing moratorium on
stand -alone parking facilities, such as Park - and -fly lots. He also described
the staff's proposal for appropriate development regulations pertaining to
these facilities. These include: providing clearer definitions for the types of
parking facilities; eliminating stand -alone parking facilities from the M.I.C.
area; adopting appropriate Comprehensive Plan policies; and adopting
development regulations that require stand -alone parking to be in structures
or located away form street frontage. The Committee voiced general
agreement with the approach.

3. Ball Janik Contract Amendment (Extension) John McFarland explained
the amendments to the existing contract. He distributed a revised draft that
referred to the objective of light rail service to the Urban Center, rather than
the E3 alignment. The Committee voiced their support for the scope of
work. John advised that the compensation arrangement ($15,000 per
month) would remain in place for the present time, and especially in light of
the resumption of activity in Washington D.C. and locally in the past few
weeks. If that level of activity diminishes, the compensation clause will be
re- negotiated.

code changes on the above issue. We have briefly reviewed your Memorandum of April
5, 2001 and attachments and have no extensive formal comment at this time.
We do want to briefly comment on Recommendation *4 (Page 3 of 3) of your
Automobile Parking Policies and Regulations Issue Paper. We feel that some parking
should be allowed between the sidewalk and the building for retail use. We have no
objection to the a large portion of the parking being placed behind the building.
Again, thank you for keeping us in the communication loop on this issue. We will

Automobile Parking Policies and Regulations Issue Paper
Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director
Memorandum
To: Mayor Steve Mullet
Community Affairs and Parks
Subject: Moratorium Extension on Commercial Parking Lots and Garages and
Transmittal to Planning Commission for Hearing and Recommendation
Background
On July 17, 2000, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1921, establishing a moratorium
on the filing of development and /or land use permits for public parking lots, park and ride
lots or garages for private passenger cars.
Issue
Attached is an evaluation of the policy and regulatory options to consider on this issue.
Staff recommends several areas of modification to the City's Zoning Code that will
create greater consistency between policy and regulations for park and ride lots and
commercial parking in the Manufacturing Industrial Center. In order to mitigate the
negative impact of new parking lots locating adjacent to Tukwila International Boulevard
in the RC districts and in the Tukwila Urban Center, staff recommends that the City
create policy language and modify the Zoning Code to regulate the location and design of
commercial parking.
Recommendation
1. Forward a CAP recommendation to the COW for discussion and direction, then to the
Planning Commission for a public hearing and recommendation.
2. Schedule a hearing for the extension of the existing moratorium ordinance, which will
expire on June 14, 2001.

Background
Automobile Parking Policies and Regulations
Issue Paper
Parking of automobiles can be divided into two main use groups:
1. Parking as an accessory use' — whether it's for a residence or a business. The parking is
there because the business or residents want to provide on -site paved area for cars as a
courtesy /necessity for visitors, customers, employees, or owners.
2. Parking as a primary use — where the need to temporarily store cars is not directly related
to a separate primary use of the site. There may or may not be a fee charged to use the
parking space. This type of parking as a primary use can provide a service for businesses
within walking distance or for some distant use. Examples include: park and ride lots
associated with public transit; park and fly lots associated with air travel; remote
customer or employee parking lots.
Parking as a primary use provides:
❖ riders for a transit system (Park and Ride Lots)
❖ publicly subsidized parking spaces for commercial centers
❖ auto trip reduction into congested areas such as urban centers, airports, etc.
❖ dispersal of automobile parking to sites outside of congested areas
❖ an economic use of land
❖ potentially less auto trips among neighboring sites
❖ revenues for local government (State authorized commercial parking tax)
Parking lots that are a primary use, support (in addition to the rent to the owner) uses that
are typically outside the City limits, whether it's the airport, a transit system, downtown
Seattle employers or businesses. They can also reduce vehicle congestion in these areas.
They sometimes are considered an interim use of land that allow an economic return

Moira, the information is based on Million Annual Passenger data, but can be z
translated to 2020. We have been doing most of our modeling work based on = F-
2005, 2010 and 2020 but there tends to be variation on all (levels of j"' w
intensity). I would say that the highest numbers are best represented in 6
2020. That is true for employee parking as well. —1 0

Much of the work done on assummptions private parking to date has tions for rivate sector arkin w
U)
been directly associated with the Cit of Sea Tac. In many cases, the LU F-
private sector parking changes over time. For example, someone may build 0) w
long term airport parking, but it reverts to parking for commercial or w 0
retail as those uses develop. Unfortunately, I wasn't here for much of it, 2
but you might want to touch base with Don Monaghan of Sea Tac (439 -4716) to 15
discuss the parking strategy involved. Sorry I can't be of much more help u-
at this time. Dan = d

Dear Dan: Thank you for the information. What years are the future z
scenarios? What about the parking for employees? How did you come up v
with the private sector planned facilities? Did you use a neighborhood map F. I .
to site the planned future facilities? Questions , questions, questions! Z /—

Hi Moira, The City of SeaTac and Port of Seattle are currently working on
the Joint Transportation Study. This study included a discussion of future
public parking facilities to meet passenger needs at Seattle- Tacoma
International Airport. The attached table summarizes the public parking
demand, and the facilities anticipated to meet this demand.
Public parking demand is determined in terms of Million Annual Passenger
(MAP) activity at Sea -Tac Airport. The table identifies existing
conditions, and two future activity levels. Demand is then calculated in
°"lon 3radshaw - RE: Parking information Page 2
terms of stalls for both hourly parking and daily parking. Hourly parking
is the meeter /greeter activity that is typically for 2 hours or less in
duration. All of this demand will be provided in the terminal parking
garages. Daily parking is typically for a 3 -4 day duration. This demand
will be meet with a combination of Airport parking facilities and private
sector parking facilities.
I hope that this information helps.

All areas of the City have distinct characters, established many years ago. Changes in
existing land use patterns are proposed in some areas to reflect the community's goals.
Such change is expected to occur gradually, as strategic plans for specific areas are
developed, as the plans are implemented and promoted, and as public and private
investment is made.

Clerk
Department of Parks & Recreation — Tukwila Community Center
Parks & Recreation Director Bruce Fletcher introduced Ms's. Bennett and Simon. Ms. Bennett comes
to Tukwila from the City of SeaTac and is a Foster High School graduate. Ms. Simon came to the
Seattle area 19 years ago from Tampa, Florida and is pleased to be working with the City of Tukwila.
CITIZEN COMMENT /CORRESPONDENCE:
Dorothy L. Wynn, 2007 So. 112th Street, Tukwila, addressed the Council on the issue of her
commercial property at 14607 Tukwila International Boulevard. It has been a car sales lot since 1951.
The property has been vacant for more than six months recently and the property is now non-
conforming and no longer possesses its grandfather clause. Ms. Wynn has found a potential renter
who would like to once again use the lot for car sales. However, the potential renter came to the City
to obtain and business license and learned of the non - conformance. Ms. Wynn asked the Council to
forgive her for ignorance of the code. She would like to rent the property and have an income from it.
Department of Community Development Planning Manager, Jack Pace, City of Tukwila,
http://www.ci.tukwila.wa.us/clerk/rm9-5.htm
4/13/01
Minutes, 9/5/00 Page 2 of 8
informed Council that indeed Ms. Wynn's request is not possible under the rules of the Tukwila
Municipal Code; namely, the comprehensive plan and zoning designation of the property in question.
Under a question from Mayor Mullet, it was the consensus of Council to follow the rules of the
Tukwila Municipal Code and not put the item into Committee for further consideration.
Jeff Wynn, 14812 — 46th Ave. So., Tukwila, son to Dorothy, spoke in favor of Council
reconsidering their position on this item. He realizes the limited uses of the property under the guises
of the Tukwila Municipal Code; however, individuals who have contacted them to rent the property
are really not appropriate for the site; i.e., adult book store; Airport Parking; Taxi Cab Office; Ethnic
Grocery Store; Church, etc. He was also unaware of the six -month rule negating the grandfather
clause.
Mayor Mullet then asked City Attorney Bob Noe to review that portion of the Tukwila Municipal
Code which applies to this situation and be in contact with the Wynn's with his findings.
Anna Bernhard, 14241 59th Avenue South, Tukwila, expressed her appreciation for the newly
created Police Department brochure which will prove beneficial in future recruiting processes. They
will also be a good item for use at future job fairs. She wanted to publicly thank Bev Willison, Chief
Civil Service Hearing Examiner; as well as Sergeant Darrell Baskin of the Tukwila Police
Department for their efforts.
City Administrator John McFarland and Sister Cities Committee Chair Kate Olstrom, gave a
brief update on the upcoming visit by our Sister City, Ikawa, delegation. Mr. McFarland distributed a
draft itinerary for the October 5 -9 visit. Ms. Olstrom introduced the members of the Committee and
thanked them for their efforts and diligence; especially in light of the fact that this is the second event
they have planned in one year. Normally, only one event per year is orchestrated. She also informed
Council and those in the audience of the need for homestays for approximately 20 of the delegates.
Many have already been placed; yet the need still exists for many more. In that regard, Mr.
McFarland encouraged interested parties to contact Shelley O'Keefe, in the Mayor's Office and in
turn, arrangements will be made.
Councilmember Linder offered her home to Ms. Olstrom; and Councilmember Hernandez noted she,
too, will have at least one guest, if not two, in her home during the trip.
There was consensus among Council to hold a meeting between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. on Friday,
October 6, 2000, for the purpose of gift exchange, etc. Finally, the location for the banquet was
selected by Councilmembers - the Tukwila Museum of Flight.
CONSENT AGENDA:
a. Approval of Minutes — 08 -21 -00 Regular Meeting
b. Approval of Vouchers - #223233 — 223507, in the amount of $804,271.67
c. Approve potential services /projects totaling $145,396.00 funded by Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funds to be received in 2001, and approve contingency plan for increases and
decreases

PUBLIC HEARING:
7:40 p.m. Mayor Mullet opened the public hearing.
Department of Community Development Planning Manager, Jack Pace, reminded Council that
Ordinance #1921 was adopted on July 17, 2000. That ordinance established a moratorium on the
filing of development and/or land use permits for public parking lots, park and ride lots or garages for
private passenger cars. Mr. Pace then noted that the previously mentioned ordinance required the
Council to hold a public hearing for public input/testimony within 60 days of adoption.
Kottayam V. Natarajan, Jr., Port of Seattle, informed the Council that the Port of Seattle wishes to
foster a positive relationship. The Port is also working with various, local cities to develop mutually
beneficial projects. Finally, Mr. Natarajan noted the Port is looking forward to a good working
relationship with the City of Tukwila.
8:45 p.m. Hearing no further citizen comment, Mayor Mullet closed the public hearing.
Mr. Pace informed Council the next step is to prepare a policy options paper for Council to review
and provide direction to staff. This must be done before the ordinance expires. From there,
amendments may be required.
Council provided consensus to Mr. Pace to develop a report covering the issues. He noted staff would
report to Council with recommendations on how to implement changes to the Comprehensive Plan
which would regulate the uses.

King County departments. Mayor Mullet also noted a copy of a letter was placed in Council's boxes
from Sound Transit to King County Executive Ron Sims, related to point 3 where they effectively
showed no interested in getting light rail to Southcenter. Next, the Mayor noted earlier discussion of
the Ikawa trip and hoped Council received all information necessary for that visit. He noted the start
of a process to get the Economic Development Committee going. This is a 4 or 5 meeting item which

Advisor will be hired soon. Finally, the Mayor noted the first budget meeting for 2001 is set on
Tuesday, September 12.
Related to the budget item, Finance Director Alan Doerschel distributed the first "cut" of the budget.

Councilmember Fenton asked if City Administration/Staff had considered removing the fence
around the Tukwila Village Project site. The Mayor and Mr. McFarland noted the fence is not yet

at least one issue. A resolution should come about soon.
Councilmember Haggerton asked Mr. McFarland if he had the opportunity to learn anything about
the arson sign on the blue building (formerly Dave's Economy Shoe Repair) on 42nd and 158th. Mr.
McFarland noted an arson fire did, indeed, occur at that location. The damage done, albeit
insignificant, was determined to be an arson. Mr. Haggerton asked because he recently saw people
removing furniture from the site. The status of the property is unknown at this time. Mr. Haggerton
requested a written memo be prepared and distributed to Council when more information is available.

Memorandum
To: City Council
From: Steve Lancaster
Date: August 21, 2000
Subject: Moratorium on Public Parking Lots, park and ride lots and
On July 17, 2000, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1921, establishing a moratorium
on the filing of development and/or land use permits for public parking lots, park and ride
lots or garages for private passenger cars. The moratorium requires the City Council to
hold a public hearing within 60 days of adoption.
To resolve the code issues raised by this moratorium, staff believes that the following
matters must be addressed:
1. What are the existing Tukwila Comprehensive Plan policies pertaining to parking
lots, park and ride lots and parking garages and what changes may be desired?
2. How should the City define and distinguish between the various types of parking lots;
ie. Pay parking lots, parking lots for bus patrons, parking lots for rail patrons, off -site
parking lots that are accessory to some other primary use? In addition to the type of
uses mentioned in the previous list are issues of scale and intensity, ie. multi -story
parking structures, 40 stall parking lots, 1,000 stall parking lots.
3. What are the appropriate types of land use permits that should be obtained for any of
the above listed uses before construction permits are issued?
Staff will develop a report covering these and any related issues as directed by the
Council. Staff will report to the Council with recommendations on how to implement
changes to the City's Comprehensive Plan and or Zoning Code that would regulate these
uses as desired by the community.

Presented to Tukwila Municipal Court for their arraignment calendar program and in- custody video
jail hearings
Mayor Steve Mullet was proud to receive the awards mentioned while at the recent AWC
Conference, in Spokane. This evening, he is proud to present them to what he called the "instigator of
the awards" — Municipal Court Judge Peter Lukevich.
Judge Lukevich noted his pleasure in receiving the awards on behalf of the entire Municipal Court
staff. In their attempts to increase efficiency and effectiveness in judicial proceedings, great things
have come about. He recognized the Municipal Court Administrator and staff as being the "best in
the State."
Additionally, Judge Lukevich congratulated Bob Abbott, Tukwila Police Department, for the work he
directs at the Neighborhood Resource Center. There, volunteers contact defendants in the Court of
impending arraignment dates. That program has received incredible results wherein the no -show rate
has dropped considerably. The bench warrants to be issued have been reduced by nearly 30% since
the inception of the program.

PUBLIC HEARING:
Preliminary plat request to subdivide six parcels totaling 6.78 acres into 20
single - family lots, including streets, sidewalks, utilities and pedestrian path
linking the subdivision with 38th Avenue South - Location: West side of
40th Ave. So., south of So. 130th St.
7:42 p.m. Mayor Mullet opened the public hearing.
7:44 p.m. City Attorney Bob Noe to administer an oath to those would testify in the public hearing.
After which, he reviewed preliminary subdivision approval standards with Council (found on pages
4 -14) of the City's staff report.
Associate Planner Carol Lumb then addressed Council and told them tonight's decision will establish
the framework necessary to create conditions for the final plat approval on this project.
Ms. Lumb presented highlights from the staff report. For the record, she reminded Council one public
hearing (July 22, 1999) and one public meeting (July 10, 2000) have already been held on this issue.
From those hearings, Ms. Lumb learned that should a through street be proposed, it would be
opposed by residents. Additionally, she learned that should a proposed retention pond be above
ground, good, visual landscaping would be requested by residents in the vicinity (38th Ave. So.)
Next, Ms. Lumb reviewed the proposed conditions for preliminary plat approval on this project. She
pointed Council and staff to page 4 of the staff report. She then noted that at the final plat approval
stage, one more public hearing will be held where the Council will review compliance of the
preliminary plat conditions. They will also be asked to review covenants, conditions and restrictions
which may apply to the plat.
Ms. Lumb noted City staff recommends that Council adopt the findings of fact and conclusions of the
staff report and that they approve the preliminary plat and planned residential development with
conditions. Additionally, staff asks Council to allow the applicant to develop construction plans and
specifications to prepare a final plat.
Considerable discussion ensued between Council and staff. Questions were answered as they relate to
peer review selection process; current owners selling the project; plans to line the retention pond vs.
not lining it; setbacks and land altering permits.
Ron Guest, ESM, 11822 No. Creek Parkway No., Bothell., spoke as a proponent of the project.
Mr. Guest announced that the applicant is present (Gary Greer). Also present are the land use planner
(Sarah) and landscape planner (Jeff). All are with the firm of ESM, Inc.
http://www.ci.tukwila.wa.us/clerk/rm7-17.htm
8/16/00
Minutes, 7/17/00 Page 4 of 8
Mr. Guest concurs with the City's staff report on this project. He has worked closely with Tukwila
staff and appreciates their professionalism. He noted this is a well - engineered plan and should result
in a very successful project. He noted geotechnical reports were completed in both dry and wet
weather (1 each). A contingency plan is in place related to soil.
Although he is not necessarily in favor of lining the retention/detention pond because of soft and hard
pan deposits, he has accepted the City's conclusion and request for same. Additionally, Mr. Guest
noted no other alternative exists which would allow different placement of the pond other than the
entrance to the proposed project. This is a proposed 50,000 cubic foot, 375,000 gallon water pond. It
will be screened, fenced, and made aesthetically pleasing as possible.
Gary Greer, owner of the proposed development, noted that through a boundary line adjustment,
two homes exist in the vicinity, which are not part of this proposed subdivision.
Additional discussion ensued regarding the proposed pond, fencing, fungi buildup, Mr. Guests'
expertise as to building in this type of terrain. Mr. Guest noted he has built "many" subdivisions in
this terrain and that although they can be challenging, this particular site has no sloughing, and no
ancient history of slides.
Mr. Greer, in answer to Councilmembers, noted he wants to sell the project as soon as possible as he
does not have sufficient funds to cover its completion. Additionally, Mr. Greer is agreeable with the
staff report and said much time and effort went into the planning phase of the project.
Curt Robinson, 13244 — 40th Ave. So., Tukwila, shares the Councils' concern regarding the
detention pond and believes it will be an eyesore to his front yard. He stated retention ponds are
breeding grounds for mosquitoes and open ponds, which are not always full, become scummy mud
holes.
Kathy Stetson, 13258 — 40th Ave. So., Tukwila, is cautiously enthusiastic with the proposed
subdivision. She encouraged the developer to design the homes without a ticky, tacky, boring
consistent look. She asked the developer to consider de- emphasizing proposed garage size
appearance. Finally, Ms. Stetson noted her question about who will maintain the open spaces in this
area.
Mayor Mullet noted staff will work to refine the pond issues; and that maintenance of the open space
areas will be performed by City of Tukwila Public Works staff
In an attempt to settle one of Mr. Robinson's concerns, Public Works Director Jim Morrow informed
him the pond is not expected to contain water for long periods of time. Moreover, as long as the pond
is kept clean and well maintained, the water will drain quickly, thus eliminating a possible breeding
ground for the mosquitoes.
Shirley Robinson, 13422 — 40th Ave. So., Tukwila, also has a concern with the retention pond. She
believes it will create the potential for a safety hazard for children. Additionally, she is concerned
with the lack of parking available in the area and suggested lidding of the pond and creation of an
"overflow" parking lot.
Further discussion centered on the pond, fencing around the pond, vegetative possibilities within the
http: / /www.ci .tukwila.wa.us /clerk/rm7- 17.htm 8/16/00
Minutes, 7/17/00 Page 5 of 8
pond and potential grassy slopes within the pond for safety and aesthetics.
8:56 p.m. Mayor Mullet closed the public hearing.
Mr. Lancaster stated that if Council feels comfortable with the document before them and approves it,
staff can issue a Notice of Decision; yet there is nothing which mandates action at this meeting.
Fenton moved; Linder seconded; to accept the recommendations of staff, findings, conclusions,
and an amendment to condition #7 that includes the following objectives:
1. Ensure the pond is aesthetically pleasing by providing some interlinear nature to it;
2. Ensure vegetation is appropriately planted inside and landscaping is placed outside the pond;
and
3. Landscape and design are easy and commonly maintained so that nuisances such as mosquitoes
are held to a minimum;
Discussion:
Council agreed with those objectives and Mayor Mullet asked that they be included into staff
recommendation #7. Mr. Lancaster acknowledged and agreed to same.
Councilmember Carter confirmed the detention pond will be maintained by the City as well as the
road leading to the cul -de -sac once it is turned over to the City. The pedestrian trail maintenance has
not yet been determined. Mr. Lancaster noted that will most likely be covered in the codes, covenants
and restrictions portion of the final plat approval. Ms. Carter suggested the codes, covenants and
restrictions be written "so that they give the City some recourse" since it has had trouble with private
property owners not fulfilling their responsibilities. Ms. Carter noted her endorsement of the SEPA
staff report and its requirement portion regarding the land altering permit (the need for a geo- tech.,
daily reports, etc.).
Finally, Ms. Carter shares Councilmember Haggerton's concern that the applicant will not be the
developer. She then noted her concern with the possible tearing up of 40th Avenue South. She spoke
against having the community & residents suffer a poorly patched road when a developer is
responsible for undergrounding the utilities. She does not know if the road will have to be cut, but she
feels strongly that the entire community should not have to endure a torn up road for a lengthy period
of time.
Mr. Lancaster noted that if Council wants to make it a condition, staff would like time to write the
exact verbiage to ensure its accuracy. Mayor Mullet asked if Council agreed with Mr. Lancaster's
assessment and if they were ready to vote on the item. Councilmember Haggerton called for the
question.
*The motion carried 7 - 0.
Mr. Lancaster acknowledged the vote from the Council and said staff will move forward with
preparing the draft Notice of Decision and bring it back to Council for approval.
9:09 p.m. Haggerton moved; Fenton seconded; to take a 5 minute recess. The motion carried 7 -

Brian Sullivan thanked the Council for the opportunity to return and answer any questions they may co w
have as a result of the facilities study previous distributed. w
u) u_
He reviewed the current needs of the City and projected future needs as outlined in the previously 2
provided report. Roughly speaking, Mr. Sullivan stated the City is in need of an approximate (25%
gain) 8,800 square feet of space right now. He noted a conservative need of approximately 4,500 N
square feet of additional floor space will be needed within the next 10 years. = a

C ouncilmember Hernandez pointed out that Human Resources was referred to as Human Services 1, p
under the heading of Administrative Services. Next, she asked if the Council Analyst position is w
w
correctly cited as 1/2 time. Mayor Mullet agreed it should be marked as a FT position.
U
N
Council then asked various questions about City Council office space and number of police officers a F-
now and in the future. Additional questions included such items as the cost to redesign the Minolta w
building, moving City staff to that building and then renovating the current City Hall for the Police I— -
and Court staff. The actual cost issue was not addressed; yet, issues surrounding the potential move , z
were. Such things as reception areas, placement of various departments, etc. within the Minolta in cn
building were raised. o i
z
Costs of renovating, moving, relocations, etc. are not ready to be reported on by Mr. Sullivan and his
group. The Mithun Partners did the initial report on space needs only.
City Consultant Mike Ragsdale noted he will present rough (cost) numbers to Council next week to
provide a sense of scale on a new building vs. renovating, remodeling and/or relocation of City
buildings and staff.
Councilmembers asked for various combinations of numbers to allow Council to be creative in their
thinking and decision making. Mr. Ragsdale acknowledged the request and answered in the
affirmative.
b. Tukwila Village Briefing
Mr. Ragsdale gave Council information on the topography of the Tukwila Village site, at 144th. He
said the topography could influence some of the decisions Council may have to make regarding the
use of the site.
Mr. Ragsdale noted some of the topography circumstances at the site. The property, at 144th and
Tukwila International Boulevard, at the street grade, (the front) is the highest site of the property. It

site would not dominate or take over the site as a whole. The ingress, from the street level, would be
the second story of the building. The egress at the back of the building, would actually be the first
level of the building. With that grade, it would be less expensive to build there.
The parking circumstances and the lack of room for parking have led Mr. Ragsdale and his team to be
very careful as they have planned the site. In order to get the density desired by Council and the
public, structured parking is required. This may come in the form of a two -story parking building.
Mr. Ragsdale, referring to the 1 -3 -5 model (1 -mile, 3 -mile and 5 -mile radius of demographics) does
not support any commercial (office or retail) except what he calls standard strip retail. The
demographics do not support office. This is not an office neighborhood or environment. However, in
order to make the project work, the City has always made the commitment (in planning stages) to go
to local, county, state and federal agencies to use our presence and ability to cajole, jawbone and
recruit government tenants to come onto the site. That has always been the expectation.
Regarding the highway, it calls for strip retail. Since the site has been demolished, many calls have
been received from developers regarding the site and potential strip center buildings.
Mr. Ragsdale reminded Council he will present (in detail) the options available on the property, the
various strategies Council may take regarding selling the property, building a parking structures and a
"stack" of other options relative to the site. He will cost out various kinds of products including retail,
office, structured parking vs. non - structured parking, tenant improvements, buildout and
modifications to current buildings as well in order to do comparisons.

PROJECT: Tukwila Zoning Code Commercial Parking Amendments
Attached is a copy of the ordinance revising the City's Zoning Code as it relates to
Commercial Parking. Specifically the ordinance defines park and ride lots and
commercial parking and categorizes commercial parking as permitted uses with or
without certain conditions in various zones within the City. The City removed from its
commercial and industrial zones a use called "public parking..." and a definition for
public garages.
